"That's it for today! We have had preliminary contact, we still need to understand each other, you also have to report to your superiors, let's go back first!" Lu Xiaodong stood up and said. Then he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Director Zeng, and said, "Goodbye!"

After Director Zeng shook his hand, he suddenly remembered something, he knocked on his head and said in annoyance: "Look at me, I forgot everything, I haven't asked you where you live?

"It doesn't matter, Director Zeng, we are staying at Huatian Hotel, let's contact us if there is anything!

Then he took the two heads and left without looking back, calmly and chicly. He is an investor, and his capital can be raised higher, but it will not make Director Zeng suspicious.

After Director Zeng saw Lu Xiaodong and them leave, he immediately walked to the government compound next door. He is a member of the government system, so he reports to the mayor as soon as possible.

The mayor was only promoted this year, and his name is Yuan Hankun. He is a native of Changsha, so he has a group of loyal subordinates and has a high prestige in the municipal government.

"Director Liu, I have something important to report to the mayor, please help me pass it through. Director Zeng was in a hurry, and when he arrived at the mayor's office, he was out of breath. He didn't care to take a breath, so he asked Mayor Yuan's secretary to help him pass it on.

As for the title of Director Liu, this is the government's consistent practice. The mayor's secretary must also serve as the director of the mayor's secretary's office, which is generally two levels lower than the mayor, and in a vice-provincial city like Changsha, the mayor is at the deputy ministerial level, so Director Liu's level should be at the department level. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, it is okay for the mayor to choose a person who has just graduated from college as a secretary, then the level of this secretary is only a deputy department, and no one has the right to be promoted across levels, but the mayor's secretary is promoted very quickly, or it will match the mayor's identity in a few years. Being a secretary of leadership is the fastest shortcut to promotion for all those who are aspiring to a career in the career.

Director Liu has been Mayor Yuan's secretary for several years, so he knows Director Zeng. When he saw Director Zeng's appearance, he knew that there must be something urgent, so he replied to Director Zeng: "Director Zeng, please wait a moment, I will help you report immediately." ”

"Toot," he had already pressed the internal phone before he could finish speaking. Then he immediately said into the phone: "Mayor, Director Zeng of China Merchants Bureau, there is something important to report." ”

"Let him in" Mayor Yuan's majestic voice came from the microphone.

Director Zeng is Mayor Yuan's person, so he asked to see him, and of course Mayor Yuan will allow it.

Director Zeng got the mayor's consent, took a few deep breaths at the door, stabilized his mood and officially pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered Mayor Yuan's office, he took the lead in greeting the mayor: "Hello, mayor!"

Mayor Yuan only stopped the work at hand at this time. He looked at Director Zeng and asked quietly, "What's the matter?"

"Mayor, a few Hong Kong lawyers came to our China Merchants Bureau today, saying that they wanted to invest, because the scale of investment is too large, I don't dare to make my own decisions, so I will report to you immediately. "Director Zeng is an expert in diplomacy in the end, and his eloquence is very good, and he can clearly explain his intention in just a few words.

"Oh, what a big investment, and I need to be in charge. Mayor Yuan was a little interested by Director Zeng's words, in today's world, attracting investment is the top priority of the government, and he is under a lot of pressure as mayor. In the interior of the past nine years, the traffic conditions are too poor, there are no highways, and due to the lack of government funds, national and provincial highways have fallen into disrepair. There are potholes everywhere, and Changsha is not a hometown of overseas Chinese, so it is difficult to introduce foreign investment. Now he has heard that there are investors coming to the door, and the scale of investment is very large, so he is also very interested in learning about it.

"Mayor, I don't dare to say that the scale of investment in their mouths is too large, and I am afraid that you will scold. ”

Director Zeng replied to Mayor Yuan in a hesitant manner.

"You're a person, how did you do it? If there's anything bad to say, it's not something you made up, just say it!" Mayor Yuan had just mentioned his interest, but he was completely defeated by Director Zeng. So he blamed a little angrily.

"Yes...... Be...... Yes, the mayor, they did not mention the total amount of investment, only said that it would be invested in 5 phases over 20 years, but only the first phase of investment was 10 billion, and they also said that as long as the contract was implemented, 2 billion would be paid to the account first, and the contract would officially take effect.

Director Zeng was frightened by Mayor Yuan, and he quickly said it.

"What are you talking about? The initial investment is 10 billion? What kind of big company is it!" Mayor Yuan was also shocked by this number, you must know that in the whole year of 94 years, the gross domestic product of the entire Changsha City was also about the same as this number.

"Mayor, you're wrong, it's not an international company at all, it's a private company in Huizhou. ”

Hearing Director Zeng's explanation, Mayor Yuan's good mood just now was completely destroyed by him, and after he calmed down, he said to Director Zeng seriously: "If that's the case, then you have to pay attention." The central government has already issued an internal document, and all parts of the country there are swindlers who cheat under the guise of investment, and several governments have been fooled and criticized by the central government.

"Mayor, don't worry, I still have this kind of eyesight. They have already made it clear that they can have such a large investment capacity, but it is not something that a leather bag company can pretend to be, I want to go to Huizhou to investigate in person, mayor, what do you think?" Director Zeng put forward his thoughts to Mayor Yuan, and finally asked how he was.

"Well, it's right to look into it. After all, such a large investment, if true, is a great thing. We must be cautious in our skepticism, but also bold in our verification. This is the basic viewpoint of Marxist materialism, and we, as members, should flexibly apply it to reality. Mayor Yuan agrees with Director Zeng's idea, he doesn't want to give up easily with such a large investment scale, what if it's true? As long as he is a human being, he will not give up hope until the last step.

After a few minutes, Mayor Yuan remembered something again, and asked Director Zeng, "What preferential conditions do they want?"

"That's not it, but there are a lot of other requirements, I can't do it, only the mayor can make the decision. Director Zeng replied immediately.

"What are the requirements, let me hear them. Mayor Yuan said in a flat mood, his mood has gone through several ups and downs, and he is no longer interested in the matter before it is verified.

"On behalf of lawyer Lu this time, they made several requests to me...... Director Zeng told Mayor Yuan what Lu Xiaodong said without changing a word.

"As long as the investment is genuine, their demands are reasonable.

First, they call for the establishment of independent industrial parks, which is undisputed. Although it occupies a little more area, there is no problem with rolling development in several phases.

Second, they asked for a separate highway to the park, and there was no problem. After all, they have invested so much, and we should solve the transportation problem for them.

Third, they demand that they build their own independent power plants and waterworks and other public facilities, and the waterworks are okay, talking about the problems within our government. Although the power department is not under our direct control, I think I can still convince them with my old face.

Fourth, there is no problem, like other investors, it is also a symbolic one-dollar transfer. ”

Mayor Yuan replied on the spot, which shows that he is still looking forward to the implementation of this investment.

The reason why Mayor Yuan replied was determined by the specific historical conditions at that time, and in the interior of the ninety-odd years, the government departments had not yet realized that land resources were very valuable, and in order to attract investors, local governments had symbolically transferred land for one dollar. This is really a gap between heaven and earth compared to the high land prices that followed. Many people have relied on this opportunity to become billionaires in the 21st century without stress.

"Did you ask them why they came to invest in Changsha?" Mayor Yuan asked another important question, a question that can confirm the authenticity of this investment. After all, Changsha's geographical conditions and transportation conditions are far from catching up with Huizhou.

"I asked, and according to lawyer Lu, their boss is from Hulan, and he wants to go back to his hometown to invest, and he also wants to make a little contribution to his hometown. Director Zeng explained to Mayor Yuan in detail.

"Oh! That's right! This makes sense, and there have been many cases of people who have made a fortune and never forgotten their hometown. It's also quite possible that their boss can think this way. In this way, you should go to Huizhou to investigate and understand. ”

After hearing Director Zeng's explanation, Mayor Yuan was interested again. As he continued to learn about it, he found that the authenticity of this investment was very high. He carefully recalled in his heart that the first phase of investment was 10 billion, and as soon as the investment contract was signed, 2 billion funds would arrive. This is not only unacceptable for scammers, but also for many state-owned giants. Although they are all tens of billions of dollars, but to immediately come up with 2 billion liquidity, unless it is to borrow from the bank, he is sure that few companies can do it.

Thinking of this, Mayor Yuan's heart immediately became excited. He thought in his heart that as long as this investment is implemented, it is equivalent to the establishment of a brand-new Changsha urban area, or a purely industrial urban area, then how much credit will he have to make! He has just been promoted to mayor, and if it is not surprising that he can still serve for a few years during his term of office as mayor, then he will be able to completely possess this political capital, instead of seeking benefits for his successors.

Mayor Yuan thought it through, and said to Director Zeng, who was waiting silently, "You should go to Huizhou immediately!"

"Yes, Mayor, I'll go to Huizhou early tomorrow. Director Zeng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately agreed.

"No, I mean right away. You can take a plane to Guangzhou tonight, and you can rush to Huizhou overnight. After I understand it clearly tomorrow, I will call back immediately, and I need to apply to Secretary Qin to convene a Standing Committee discussion. Do you understand?" Mayor Yuan gave a serious order to Director Zeng.

"Yes...... Yes, Mayor, I see. ”

Director Zeng was frightened by Mayor Yuan's stern tone, and he didn't speak very neatly.

It's really a sentence from the superiors, and the subordinates are tired like dogs, although Director Zeng's political status is already very high, he can only be obedient and obedient in front of Mayor Yuan.
