624. Chapter 624
Fang Deqiang shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything, and then said indifferently to Liu Weiming: "Xiao Liu, I will say something first." %77%77%77%2e%76%6f%64%74%77%2e%63%6f%6dAs a businessman, the first element of my investment is profitable, and it is difficult for me to accept a loss-making business, which is unacceptable to any businessman. On top of this condition, I will definitely try my best to help you if I can help you. And I have a sentence to remind you that the fundamental factor that solves the development of your Baishan is not in attracting investment. β
"I know that. Liu Weiming sighed and said.
"The situation in Baishan is more complicated and special. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a critically ill patient, as far as I can see, his internal organs are already close to necrosis. In order for Hakuyama to develop, to think of resurrection from the dead, it is necessary to undergo major surgery from its own internal organs. Investment promotion is just a dose of external medicine for Baishan, which can play an aesthetic role and a psychological effect, but it does not have any curative effect, at least before the internal organs are cured. To put it a little offended, I think you came to Baishan to invest, more to consider the political factors. There are too many factors hindering the development of Baishan, one of the more critical is the traditional coal mine owners, which have spread to the municipal party committee and even higher levels. Because of the interest factor, this force wants to do its best to maintain Baishan's current half-dead state, and only rely on the coal mine owner's medicine to continue his life, so as to maximize their interests. Therefore, they will definitely resist all external economic intervention, and they will also do their best to hinder the economic development of Baishan. I think you came to Baishan to invest for this reason, because of your special status, I think as long as you can come to Baishan to invest, then it is bound to break this state. Liu Weiming was silent for a long time and said, these are the truths in his heart.
"Are you asking me to confront these people and counteract some of the resistance they have to your new policy?" Fang Deqiang said after thinking for a while.
Liu Weiming nodded, and then said: "In terms of politics, I can use iron-fisted means to deal with personnel personnel of people who dare to take the lead in hindering the development of Baishan, but in the commercial market, I can only sigh with admiration." The government can intervene in the market, but the Baishan government obviously does not have the ability to rely only on coal mines to sustain its life, so I can only ask for your help in the market. β
"That's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's taking too long. Even if I come to White Mountain to invest, it will take a while for me to make an impact in the market. A conservative estimate is at least two to three years, which is too long for you. Your five-year tenure will not reap this result at all, and for you personally, it is a bit more than worth the loss. Fang Deqiang said lightly, Liu Weiming's words made him look at Liu Weiming again.
"I think it should still work, at least the official will not dare to blatantly set up a level for you to invest, plus I am here, I think your investment environment should be quite perfect, and this time to form influence is bound to be greatly short. In addition, I will carry out a series of actions after the National People's Congress, this time the intensity of the action is very large, at least the blow to the traditional coal mine owners will be very big, at this time with your deposit, I think the effect will be very good. I believe that in three years at most, we will see tangible results. In addition, in the final analysis, it doesn't matter if I can't see the scene of Baishan coming back to life during my five-year term, the chairman once said to me, he said, "For the benefit of one party for the sake of the official, we, as civil servants, hold taxpayers' money in our hands and the hard-earned money of the people." Why do the common people give us this money? It is so that we can create better living conditions for them. If you squander the hard-earned money earned by the common people with their backs to the sky and squander them to work for your own personal interests, do you think that you feel at ease with this salary? Do you deserve this salary? When you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, and when you sit in that position, you must remember that you are no longer Liu Weiming, you are in that position. Just like you now, since you are sitting in the position of secretary general of the Qianzhen Municipal Party Committee, then you are not you Liu Weiming, but the secretary general of the Qianzhen Municipal Party Committee. What should be in mind is the issue that the secretary general of the municipal party committee should consider, not the future of your Liu Weiming. Do you understand?', this statement of the chairman completely changed my political concept. I think that as long as Baishan can get better, even if I, Liu Weiming, do not get any benefits from it? At least I am worthy of the chair of the secretary of the municipal party committee that I am sitting on now, and I am also worthy of the nurturing grace of the chairman and his old man. I feel that whether I get the benefit or not, I earn it. Liu Weiming said with a smile.
Fang Deqiang looked at Liu Weiming unexpectedly, and even Fang Hanyun, who was sitting next to Fang Deqiang, looked at Liu Weiming differently, because they could all clearly feel that Liu Weiming said this completely from the heart.
Fang Deqiang shook his head and said, "I really misjudged you this time." You are worthy of being cultivated by the old man himself. β
"Let you see the smile. Liu Weiming said curtly.
"Actually, the best way for you to suppress the traditional coal mine owners is to let me enter the mining industry, but unfortunately I have no interest in the coal mining industry at all. For now, coal mining is a sunset industry in other places. Of course, not in your White Mountain, but my group and I will never touch this. As far as our group's own industrial structure is concerned, you can come to Baishan to set up a steel company, or simply directly set up a breeding company, which is feasible. It's just that I will send professionals to do market research before making a decision. Again, I will definitely help you if I can help you. In addition, even if I invest here, I will not come over myself, I will send someone to take care of it. I don't know how much of a role it will play at that time. Fang Deqiang finally clapped his head and said. The implication is that I agree to invest in your Baishan, but how to invest and how large the investment remains to be studied.
"Thank you, Uncle Fang, I, Liu Weiming, am here to give you a promise, and I promise that the government will give you the maximum policy inclination for your industry. Liu Weiming said happily.
"I'm still the first and second to come to Baishan, and today you have to take this opportunity to introduce me well. Fang Deqiang said with a smile.
"This nature, it's a pity that my understanding of the scenery of Baishan is estimated to be as detailed as the understanding. But I think the people on the government side should have done their homework. Liu Weiming smiled reluctantly.
"The people in the government probably took me on a tour of either some old state-owned enterprises that have a strong faΓ§ade, or some government image projects that are flashy on the outside and dross on the inside, or they are trying to sell me some development strategies that they think are feasible. These things can be perfunctory, and if you really want to be serious, there are few things that can stand up to scrutiny. There is a fundamental difference between businessmen who have the development vision of businessmen and those who are politicians who have the development vision of politicians. This is the root of the conflict between me and my father for so many years. Forget it, don't talk about it, if you come, you will be safe, no matter what, you can't be lazy as a tour guide today. Fang Deqiang said lightly.
Liu Weiming could only nod in embarrassment, Fang Deqiang's words were very right, there is a difference between politicians and businessmen at the root, and this difference exists in the ultimate goals and values of the two. The ultimate goal of politicians is either to promote the peace of the world and benefit others, or to suppress the opponent to climb up. And the ultimate goal of a businessman is only one, and that is profit. In order to create profits, then of course, there is exploitation, and in a way, the businessman is actually a kind of person who specializes in self-interest. As for the value gap, there is even more of a gap, the most important thing for politicians is to make progress, and for businessmen to pursue profit maximization. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two in some respect. This is also the reason why so many bureaucratic and businessmen in history have ended tragically.
Of course, Liu Weiming knew that Fang Deqiang's words were general, not just himself, but as a politician, Liu Weiming still felt a little embarrassed.
As Fang Deqiang said, Ma Juncai and others led Fang Deqiang and Fang Hanyun to take a tour of the enterprises that Baishan can get a little hands on, and introduced to Fang Deqiang how Baishan's economy is in some aspects and how superior it is in terms of investment environment. The more he went to the back, the more embarrassed Liu Weiming felt. These routines are all routines for attracting investment at the county and town levels, and this kind of routine can fool the bosses of some small and medium-sized enterprises, even if Fang Deqiang is a person? It is estimated that there are not many people in Baishan who can keep up with him in terms of economic understanding. What is the economic situation of Baishan? What is the operating status of the state-owned enterprises that he visited, can Fang Deqiang not be able to see it? However, Liu Weiming has no choice, the first is that in recent years, the governments of various localities have been vigorously attracting investment, and for the government, the promotion of investment is basically based on policy support and government inclination as bait, and as for the local economic development, not many bosses actually care about it at all. In this way, it has long been a fixed model for the government to attract investment. The second point is that it is impossible for Liu Weiming to say to his face that the government is wrong, and he also said that he is just an audience today and does not express his opinion.
However, the Chinese food Ma Juncai arranged quite satisfactorily, half of the dishes on the table are the special dishes of high-end hotels, and half of them are local specialties, especially the local specialties, and Fang Deqiang and Fang Hanyun are applauded. Seeing this, Liu Weiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least the shame has not reached the point of throwing it home.
At the end of the banquet, Fang Deqiang put down his chopsticks and said: "Today, I am very grateful to all the leaders for taking time out of their busy schedules to accompany me and my little girl. Originally, I was going to visit for a day, but unfortunately I had something to do in the afternoon, so the afternoon may not be able to go as planned, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused to the leaders. I was supposed to punish myself with a glass, but some time ago, because of stomach bleeding from drinking, the doctor forbade drinking, so I replaced the wine with tea and punished myself, I hope the leaders don't mind. β
After Fang Deqiang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Today's inspection this morning, I am very satisfied with the investment environment of Baishan, of course, first of all, I have absolute trust in the Baishan government. The first consideration of the local economy and transportation is not the local economy and transportation, but the first factor is the local government. If there is no honest and strong government, no matter how good the conditions are, we will not dare to invest lightly, and in this regard, the Baishan government is very satisfied with me. Therefore, my personal wish is to decide to invest in Baishan, of course, this is only my personal current meaning, as for the final investment or not, the investment direction, investment scale and investment method will have to wait for me and the group directors after careful consideration and let the professional team conduct a detailed investigation before making a decision. β
Fang Deqiang said a few words lightly and then ended the banquet, his attitude was very peaceful, not too arrogant, and he did everything possible to curry favor with government officials who surrendered their identities like half of the businessmen. A group of people sent Fang Deqiang and Fang Hanyun to the car. Of course, Liu Weiming did not follow the past. After Fang Deqiang and Fang Hanyun got into the car, Liu Weiming turned around and said to the crowd: "Today's task has been completed very well, and we have fully achieved our expected goals. I hope that the government will be able to further communicate with Mr. Fang himself and Mr. Fang's group while the iron is hot to ensure that the final project is finalized. Of course, it is impossible to attract investment only to focus on Mr. Fang alone, we must treat all businessmen who intend to come to our Baishan to invest equally, and I hope Mayor Zhang will have to worry more about the work of investment promotion. I'm going to Beijing on a business trip, and I can't say exactly how long it will take, but Mayor Ma will be in charge of the daily work of the municipal party committee during the time I'm away, and Mayor Ma will be working hard. β
"Secretary Liu, don't worry. Ma Juncai nodded and said.
"Alright, so be it. Everyone, please go back to the next job. Secretary-General Yao, come with me. Liu Weiming nodded and pointed at Yao Hong, and then went straight to his car.
Liu Weiming didn't bring a secretary today, so there was only one driver in the car.
After Liu Weiming sat down, Yao Hong also opened the car door and sat up.
Liu Weiming asked the driver to drive.
"Secretary-General Yao, you have done a very good job today. As for the next stage of work, it will be completely left to the government, and there is no need for us to continue to get involved. Did you book the ticket I asked you to book that day?" asked Liu Weiming lightly.
"I've already called someone to do it, do you want it now? If you do, I'll have someone send it over right away." Yao Hong said.
"Not yet, I'm not sure when I'm leaving. It is possible to leave this afternoon, and I will let you know when that time comes. You also know Mr. Fang's special status, and I don't know where they will go next now, but our reception work can't be lazy, you send someone to the hotel to be responsible for Boss Fang's reception work. Liu Weiming shook his head and said.
