Chapter 227: A Great Misunderstanding, a Complicated First Meeting
Zhang Ningning is a typical woman with a knowing surname, a little mature, a little wise, and a little atmospheric.
She is a career-oriented woman, but she lacks Meng Chunting's strong woman's edge, and is a little more soft; Her appearance is slightly lacking compared to Lan Ruo's alluring country and city, her surname is slightly inferior to Xie Bing's arrogance, and her resourcefulness is a little less experienced and hot than Zhang Ying's confidence...... However, she is better than comprehensive, generous, and full of a touch of soft control, with both the temperament of a strong woman and the gentleness of a little woman; It is both a sense of the surname and a rational surname, mature and calm, natural and beautiful.
This is Zhou Nan's evaluation of Zhang Ningning in his previous life.
Since receiving Zhang Xiao's call, Zhou Nan has been sitting quietly in the office, caught up in a lot of mixed memories of his past life, and his mood has not been able to calm down for a long time.
This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time!
Zhou Nan sighed softly, and immediately adjusted his mentality. He is a man with a rational surname, and he doesn't like to dwell on the dust of the past and feel sorry for himself...... All kinds of things in the past, regrets, or pains, have become a cloud of smoke, how is this life, and look forward.
In May in Ningshan Town, it was in the season of spring flowers, and the warm sunshine rushed into the house with the fresh mountain breeze, Zhou Nan looked up at his watch, and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, knowing that Zhang Ningning and his party were about to arrive, he got up and washed his face, and went to the dormitory next door to change into a clean white shirt.
When he was about to go out, he suddenly found that several shirts and pants that he had replaced two days ago had disappeared from the sofa, and he knew that Song Xiaolin had taken them to help him wash them.
Although Zhou Nan repeatedly emphasized that he refused Song Xiaolin to help him wash his clothes, especially underwear, Song Xiaolin didn't take it to heart and came to collect clothes every few days. Whether Zhou Nan agrees or disagrees, he will take it to help him wash and iron it neatly, and send it back with a fire.
Taking care of Zhou Nan's daily life is the job that Zhang Zhijun assigned to Song Xiaolin. Song Xiaolin has to go to Zhou Nan's dormitory every day to clean up, but Zhou Nan can't resist her, and she slowly gets used to it after a long time.
Fortunately, Zhou Nan has good living habits, and the replaced underwear and the like can be washed by himself, otherwise, it would be really embarrassing to let Song Xiaolin help clean the underwear.
Walking out of the door, Zhou Nan went downstairs directly and pinched his mobile phone in his hand. Since last month, the mobile phone signal in Ningshan County has gradually stabilized, and when Zhou Nan first came, the mobile phone signal was intermittent and could not be used at all.
However, although it is better now, when I leave the county seat and go to the countryside, the signal will still be cut off.
Not long after, the black car sent by Zhou Nan to pick up Zhang Ningning and his party galloped into the town government axe compound, and as soon as the car stopped, Zhang Zhijun jumped out of the car, ran over and smiled respectfully, "Secretary Zhou, here, Haidu's President Zhang and his party are here, I took them to the Ningshan Hotel, let the guests settle down first, and then go to the reception of the county party committee to eat." ”
"Secretary Zhou, let's rush over? Secretary Qiu and Mayor Ma have already arrived first and are arranging meals. Zhang Zhijun took a breath and asked with a smile.
"Well, you call Xiao Song. In the future, Xiao Song will be responsible for the contact and coordination with investors, and she will also participate in tonight's banquet. Zhou Nan said slowly, opened the door and got into the car. Zhang Zhijun, on the other hand, hurried into an office at the forestry station on the first floor and called Song Xiaolin.
………… When it was setting, the sunset fell the last trace of the sunset, but it was as bright as fire.
Zhou Nan waited quietly at the door of the county party committee reception hotel, looking at the Fuqian Street that passed through the Ningshan Hotel with ethereal eyes.
Behind him, the three town leaders of Ma Zhongling, Qiu Gang, and Zhang Zhijun were lined up according to their ranks, while Song Xiaolin's face was slightly red and she stood behind the three of them.
Not far from the entrance of the hotel at the reception of the county party committee, there is a large flower garden, and at this time, a woman in a green cloth shirt is bending down to arrange the flowers and plants...... Zhou Nan stared at her, and the woman slowly got up and turned her head to look this way, with a certain indifference in her eyes.
In addition to a pair of deep eyes, her appearance is mediocre, her skin is yellow, her face is vegetable, as if she can't eat all year round, her hair is also yellow and thin, her shoulders are like shave, and her figure is thin.
The woman's suspicious gaze turned on Zhou Nan, then she turned her head in distraction, bent down to pack up her tools, and slowly left.
Zhou Nan also slowly recycled his gaze, turned his head and glanced at Ma Zhongling and the three of them behind him, and said lightly, "Old Ma, when you eat for a while, you don't need to deliberately persuade you to drink, Zhang-this chapter who comes here always doesn't drink at all." ”
Ma Zhongling sighed and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhou, this Mr. Zhang who came here is the sister of Zhang Xiao, the boss of the Sky Group?" I didn't look very old, I looked like I had just come out of school. ”
"Well, it's Zhang Xiao's sister, and it's been about two or three years since she graduated from college. Originally teaching at the Provincial Academy of Arts, she quit her job and went to her brother's company at some point. Zhou Nan said indifferently, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that a black Audi had slowly driven from the car.
Zhou Nan's heart was slightly agitated, and he slowly took two steps forward and leaned on the side of the road.
The Audi came to a stop, and a tall young man in a black suit quickly got out of the passenger seat and opened the back door.
In an instant, a slender woman wearing a beige long-sleeved shirt and sky blue jeans got out of the car with a smile, only to see that she had a beautiful appearance, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she turned a few times on the faces of several people in Zhou Nan, the beauty was shining, and there was a faint breath of bookish air between her eyebrows.
Zhou Nan's originally calm face had a slight ripple, through the smoke and dust of time and fate, and seeing Zhang Ningning again in this life, he suddenly felt a violent hurricane spinning in his heart, and he could no longer maintain his usual indifference.
Zhou Nan knew that Zhang Ningning in his previous life had deep affection and resentment towards him, and swore that he would not return as soon as he left overseas. If life is only as peaceful and beautiful as the first meeting, the first meeting and the reunion today, why is there a deep love and hatred later?
Just for a moment, Zhou Nan had thousands of thoughts in his heart.
Seeing Zhang Ningning walking towards him with a smile, he calmed down, put on a stylized smiling face, and greeted him.
"Secretary Zhou Nanzhou, I'm Zhang Ningning." Zhang Ningning stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhou Nan, but his clear and deep eyes looked Zhou Nan up and down, and there was an extremely strange feeling in his heart.
Although the young man in front of him has been famous for a long time, it is the first time he has seen him after all, but how can he bring himself a sense of familiarity that seems unforgettable and seems to be ethereal?
For Zhang Ningning, this feeling is very weird.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Nan, welcome Mr. Zhang to Ningshan. Come in. Zhou Nan immediately let go of Zhang Ningning's soft little hand, turned sideways, and began to introduce his subordinates to Zhang Ningning, "This is Mayor Ma in our town, Ma Zhongling." This is Qiu Gang, deputy secretary of the town party committee and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, this is Zhang Zhijun, deputy mayor of the town, and this is Xiao Song and Song Xiaolin. ”
With Zhou Nan's introduction one by one, Zhang Ningning shook hands with Ma Zhongling and others one by one. In turn, she also introduced Zhou Nan to her attaché, two middle-level managers of the investment management department of Sky Group.
………… The night's wine banquet was over.
Although Zhou Nan and Zhang Ningning did not do much communication and communication, Zhang Ningning spent most of her time entertaining several other cadres in the town, but Zhou Nan's shadow was always flashing in her heart.
Until the end of the banquet, she took people back to the hotel, took a bath and went to bed to rest, Zhou Nan's figure still lingered.
Zhang Ningning felt that she was a little abnormal, and she felt an inexplicable vigilance in her heart.
All night, Zhang Ningning didn't sleep well, and she actually had insomnia after tossing and turning. So much so that when she got up the next morning, her eyes were a little red and swollen and she looked haggard, and she had to put on a layer of light makeup to cover it up.
In the morning, Zhou Nan took a few people in the town and accompanied Zhang Ningning and his party to inspect the addresses of several pre-set projects in the town for the construction of market logistics parks.
Along the way, Zhang Ningning seemed a little taciturn, and did not express too many opinions, this is her attaché who carefully checked the terrain and asked about some relevant information.
For the project proposed by Zhou Nan, Sky Group was not very interested in it. At the very least, Zhang Ningning was not very interested.
But then Zhang Xiao suddenly changed his attention and decided to invest. This time when he came to Ningshan, Zhang Xiao's "explanation" to Zhang Ningning was that as long as the investment environment was not too bad, he would agree to cooperate with Zhou Nan.
Zhang Ningning didn't think much of her brother's decision, but she couldn't be Zhang Xiao's master. In the Sky Group, Zhang Xiao is the sky, and no one can say anything about what Zhang Xiao decides, not even his sister or wife.
After arriving in Ningshan, the poverty situation in Ningshan County and Ningshan Town was far worse than Zhang Ningning imagined.
As soon as she settled down in the hotel, she wanted to call Zhang Xiao back and try to persuade Zhang Xiao to give up this investment - although Zhounan's construction planning and project demonstration were good, after all, the place was too poor, the infrastructure was very imperfect, and there was not even a little industrial base; Besides, the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, Zhang Ningning is really worried that investing in this kind of place will cost nothing.
In the morning, he checked three addresses successively, although Zhang Ningning did not express his position, but he made up his mind in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, how is it, how do you feel after looking at these three places? Let's just put it bluntly. For our town and county, we will do everything we can to create a good investment environment for investors...... If you have any opinions and opinions, Mr. Zhang can say frankly. What can be solved in our town will be solved immediately, and if it can't be solved, Secretary Zhou will coordinate with the county to help solve it as much as possible. ”
Ma Zhongling said enthusiastically and gave Song Xiaolin a look. Song Xiaolin hurriedly took another staff member of the new project office, came over with a few bottles of mineral water, and handed them to Zhang Ningning and others one by one.
At this time, Zhou Nan was not far away to receive a call from Zhang Qiang, secretary of the county party committee.
Although this project is a project promoted and led by Ningshan Town, it is also one of the major projects that the county attaches great importance to.
Zhang Ningning took off his wide-rimmed sunglasses, took the mineral water handed over by Song Xiaolin, and smiled slightly, but his eyes glanced at Zhou Nan's figure intentionally or unintentionally.
"To be honest, the investment environment in your county is not good, and it can even be said to be very poor. To develop market logistics, although the geographical conditions of Ningshan have certain advantages, you must know that in order to build a prosperous, long-term operation of the market logistics base, it is not how much money we invest, how many beautiful parks and factories we have built, but also depends on the level of local economic development, whether it can attract enterprises in the surrounding areas to settle down......
"That is to say, if we start the construction of this project, the main project is one aspect, and a large number of ancillary projects and supporting facilities will be built in the surrounding areas...... This means that our investment will be larger and our return on investment will be longer......"
Zhang Ningning pointed to the empty field around him and smiled lightly.
Ma Zhongling smiled awkwardly, but he was speechless, because what people said was the truth.
The market logistics base should be built in a relatively mature market environment, so that it will develop as soon as possible and obtain a return on investment; However, Zhounan's plan is to use the construction of the market logistics base to drive the development of the surrounding economy and the town's economy to achieve a reversal effect.
Although theoretically not impossible, as Zhang Ningning said, it will be more difficult, and at the same time, it will bring a considerable degree of unpredictable risks to investors' investments.
When Zhang Ningning said this, she didn't say it anymore, because she knew that although Ma Zhongling was the mayor of the town, he had no decision-making power, and talking to him for a long time was tantamount to talking in vain.
Zhou Nan finished talking to Zhang Qiang on the phone and hurriedly walked back, only to faintly hear the "one tail" of Zhang Ningning's words.
"Mr. Zhang, how is it, do you have any ideas ......" Zhou Nan smiled, looking at Zhang Ningning, who had bright eyes and bright teeth, and the complicated look in his eyes flashed.
But even if it was fleeting, it also made Zhang Ningning, who had been secretly and carefully observing him, see in his eyes.
In the morning, Zhang Ningning was keenly aware of the "ambiguous" colors in Zhou Nan's eyes that he threw at him from time to time.
This unspeakable "ambiguity" aggravated the strangeness in Zhang Ningning's heart, and also made her faintly feel a certain rejection, and even a faint disgust.
Obviously, after Zhang Ningning couldn't find the real answer to why she had strange feelings about Zhou Nan who she met for the first time, she subconsciously blamed Zhou Nan, and regarded Zhou Nan's feelings unconsciously revealed based on her feelings in her previous life as the "flattery" of the disciples.
It's really a big misunderstanding, a complicated intersection.
As soon as she thought of this, once Zhou Nan was inexplicably classified into the ranks of those flower butterflies who coveted her beauty, Zhang Ningning's delicate face began to "turn cloudy", and slowly turned away.
If Zhou Nan knew her true state of mind at the moment, she would definitely vomit blood.
………… Although Zhang Ningning did not directly refuse to invest, he put forward a series of harsh conditions such as full exemption of land fees and tax exemption. When Zhou Nan heard this, he knew that Zhang Ningning was just a pretext, and he had no sincerity to invest at all.
There is no problem in enjoying preferential treatment in various policies, and the county has promised that the administrative fees that should be reduced or exempted will be waived; It is not impossible to enjoy a certain degree of tax exemption, which is also negotiable.
Only this land fee is free of charge, which is complete nonsense. If Ningshan Town has the huge financial resources to bear such large-scale land replacement and demolition and resettlement costs, why should it attract foreign investment?
Ma Zhongling and others are not fools, as soon as they heard the conditions proposed by Zhang Ningning, they knew that this investment was basically in vain, and there was no fun. Therefore, the face is not very good-looking.
Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment and smiled lightly, "Mr. Zhang, we can sit down and have a good talk." Whether it is our town or the county, the attitude is very clear: we will give project support to the greatest extent possible within the scope of the policy -- just now, Secretary Zhang of the county party committee talked to me on the phone and clearly pointed out that we will do our best to create the most convenient investment and business environment for investors......"
"However, it is really unrealistic for you to get land at zero cost...... It is also not in line with the land policy of the state, provinces and cities. ”
Zhang Ningning smiled faintly, "Secretary Zhou, let's actually say it directly." For example, for the same project, the basic cost of building in other regions should not exceed 10 million, but the cost of building in your place will rise by at least million. Moreover, the payback cycle is still far away...... Tell me, is our investment risky? ”
Zhou Nan let out a sigh of relief, and said with a reluctant smile, "Mr. Zhang, you can't say that, you can't only see the risks and not see the prospects." As far as I know, the neighboring city of Mengjiawan is also planning such a market logistics project...... If there are no development prospects, who would do such a stupid thing? ”
"We don't care about others, we Sky Group wouldn't do such stupid things anyway. Secretary Zhou, I don't think there is any need to talk about it anymore, we will return in the afternoon......" Zhang Ningning once again felt the "complicated eagerness" in Zhou Nan's eyes, and his heart became even more uncomfortable, and there was a little more impatience between his words.
Hearing Zhang Ningning's harsh and resolute words, Zhou Nan's heart also rose a little angry, and his face became gloomy.
He turned his head to look at the outer ring road, which was becoming denser with traffic, and was silent. Immediately, he suddenly remembered his "grievances and hatreds" with Zhang Ningning in his previous life and a faint trace of regret for her, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.
He didn't know why his reunion with Zhang Ningning in this life was like this, but he knew Zhang Ningning's surname too well, she was born a little "admit death", since she said so, obviously it would be useless to communicate again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but sigh, slowly turned his head to stare at Zhang Ningning, and said lightly, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, then let's go back first-Lao Ma, I have to take a step in advance, and you and Mayor Zhang will arrange the lunch of Mr. Zhang and his party at noon." ”
After speaking, Zhou Nan turned around and strode away, and after a short time, he got into his black Santana, and the car was gone.
Zhou Nan's sigh when he was about to leave made Zhang Ningning's heart throb, and he suddenly became a little flustered.
Investment inspection and investment promotion do not mean that it will be successful.
People are just here to investigate, and it is possible to succeed or not. According to common sense, this company gave up, and it could continue to welcome the arrival of the next company, but now there is not much time left for Zhou Nan.
Back in the town, Zhou Nan immediately dialed Zhang Xiao's phone.
Listening to Zhou Nan's words, Zhang Xiao felt very surprised and dissatisfied: he had repeatedly instructed his sister Zhang Ningning, as long as it was not too outrageous, this time he would go to Ningshan to determine the cooperation project with Zhou Nan and sign a framework agreement, how could Zhang Ningning ...... Although Zhang Xiao is a businessman, his vision is extremely far-reaching.
He attaches great importance to Zhou Nan's future -- with Zhou Nan's background and connections, Zhou Nan's future development in officialdom is unlimited...... Moreover, Zhou Nan has a father Zhou Ningyu who holds a lot of power in Haidu behind him, as well as Feiteng Group and Hong Kong's Lan's Enterprise, which are all heavy weights.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao decided to invest - to invest in Zhou Nan in advance, as for whether the project itself can make money, it is still secondary. After all, for Sky Group, a project with an investment of 10 million is not a big project.
"Brother Zhou, there may be some misunderstanding here...... Hehe, it doesn't matter, I'll call Ningning immediately to ask to see what the situation is, and then call you back - my attitude is still like that, supporting the construction of the old area is our company's unshirkable social responsibility, brother rest assured. ”
Zhou Nan smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhang, you may not know that Lan Ruo has just reached an investment cooperation agreement with Ningnan Municipal Axe, and is ready to invest in the construction of a garment industrial park project in Ningshan County, and transfer the production base of the garment enterprises in the island countries under the Feiteng Group to China......"
"These two projects are built at the same time, and they can complement each other after completion, and our market logistics project can be regarded as a supporting project of the garment industrial park project......
"Also, according to the information I received from the capital, next year the state will plan a high-grade highway to cross the central and southern regions of the entire Primorsky province...... This proposed highway runs through the northwest ...... of Ningshan County"
Zhou Nan's words surprised Zhang Xiao. If that's the case, the project has more reason to invest, not just for Zhou Nan's personal face.
"Brother Zhou, I'll call right away, you wait for me for a while." After speaking, Zhang Xiao hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone receiver, Zhou Nan sighed again. In fact, he wanted to talk to Zhang Ningning about these words just now, but Zhang Ningning didn't give him this opportunity at all, and blocked the conversation to death.
Why is this happening? Zhou Nan frowned.
I don't know how Zhang Xiao "communicated" with Zhang Ningning on the phone, anyway, at noon, although Zhou Nan did not attend, the news that Zhang Ningning passed back through Ma Zhongling was that they could continue to talk.
(To be continued)
