Chapter 379: The Wisdom of Officials

Before Qin Hai could figure out how to divert the topic in front of him, the car had already driven into the courtyard of the small guest house of the city government. Zheng Xiuzhu, the director of the guest house, with four beautiful waitresses wearing cheongsams and shoulder straps, had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw the Audi car driving in, Zheng Xiuzhu ran a few steps, came to the front of the car, and bowed down to prepare for saluting.

Rao Ronggen's secretary got out of the car first, opened the door on Qin Hai's side first, and asked Qin Hai to get out of the car, and then went to pull the door on Rao Ronggen's side and let Rao Ronggen get out of the car. This order was also explained by Rao Ronggen in advance, which can be regarded as giving Qin Hai enough face.

"Hello Mr. Qin, I am Zheng Xiuzhu, the director of the municipal government guest house, welcome to come." Zheng Xiuzhu saluted Qin Hai, and then, a waiter behind him stepped forward and delivered a bouquet of flowers to Qin Hai.

"Thank you, Director Zheng, thank you for this little sister." Qin Hai nodded to Zheng Xiuzhu and the waiter who offered flowers, but he slandered Zheng Xiuzhu's name in his heart. This benevolent brother is six feet tall, but his waist is eight feet, which is really a waste of such a delicate name given by his father and mother. It would be appropriate to give this name to the girl who offered the flowers, this girl has a slender figure and a good face, and looks quite eye-catching.

"Xiao Zheng, are you all ready?" Rao Ronggen came over and asked Zheng Xiuzhu angrily.

"It's all ready, Mayor Rao." Zheng Xiuzhu smiled all over his face, "According to your requirements, everything is prepared according to the highest standards." ā€

"Qin is always our honored guest in the entire Jintang City, if you don't entertain well, I only ask you." Rao Ronggen pretended to be pretentious.

Qin Hai looked at this scene with tears and laughter, he knew that after the establishment of the Daqin Group, there would be more and more things like this to invest in various places, and this kind of boring entertainment would inevitably follow one after another. In his previous life, he was a technician. Everywhere you go, you'll be greeted with the same warmth, but it's not as grand as it is now. Alas, it seems that the profession of chairman is not something that everyone can do.

At this time, the cars of Shen Chuanming, Ning Mo and others also drove into the small courtyard one after another, and the courtyard was like on the train platform just now. Crowded and jubilant. Under the leadership of Rao Ronggen, the guests and hosts walked into the dining room of the guest house and sat down in order.

"Today, we are very honored to invite Mr. Qin Hai, a well-known entrepreneur in China, to gather with us and talk about the great cause of Jintang's development. I mention yƬ, everyone raise a glass together and welcome Mr. Qin Hai to Jintang! ā€

Rao Ronggen raised his glass and toasted, and everyone got up together. Echoing it chaotically, the wine in the cup looked particularly brilliant under the glow of the large chandelier.

Next, it was naturally a toasting ceremony of various names, and officials from all walks of life in Jintang initiated it one after another, Qin Hai and Ning Mo dealt with several city-level officials, and as for the department-level cadres below, they were all handed over to Heizi to deal with. Qin Hai believes that with the ability of sunspots. Even if they are one against ten, they can completely bring down these petty officials.

"Mr. Qin. You don't know, our cadres and masses in Jintang have been waiting for your arrival for a long time. In Shannan Province, Jintang used to be one of the top three cities in terms of economy, but in recent years, we have fallen to the third to the bottom of the province because chemical companies have stopped production. Just waiting for Mr. Qin to come to Jintang and help us revitalize Jintang's economy. ā€

Rao Ronggen diligently gave Qin Hai a few chopsticks and good dishes, and then said to him in a heart-to-heart tone.

Qin Hai thanked him, and then said lightly: "After listening to Mayor Rao's words, I feel a lot of pressure." We are very willing to contribute to the development of Jintang. However, if we want to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the economy of Jintang, we are afraid that we have more than enough heart but not enough power. ā€

"No, no, Mr. Qin's strength, we know it very well." Rao Ronggen said, "Last year, Mr. Qin came to our Jintang and merged several enterprises such as Jinnan Chemical Plant and Hongguang FRP Factory, and now these enterprises have come back to life and become a big taxpayer in Jintang." Mr. Qin has such the ability to turn stones into gold to help us revitalize the economy in Jintang, but it's just a matter of getting caught. ā€

Qin Haidao: "To tell you the truth, I came to Jintang this time to invest in two new chemical plants to form a chemical industry cluster with Jinnan Plant and Hongguang Plant. If Mayor Rao means that he wants us to contribute more to the chemical industry in Jintang, then there is no problem. As for the economy of the entire Jintang, please forgive the mayor for not being able to do anything. ā€

Shen Chuanming, who was sitting opposite Qin Hai, interjected: "I heard that Mr. Qin invested in the construction of a steel plant in Nord Stream and also acquired Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, which shows that Mr. Qin's business is not limited to the chemical industry. We also have a lot of machinery enterprises in Jintang, and the foundation of some enterprises is still very good, but now the products are not marketable enough, and there are difficulties in guiding the operation. Our municipal government is considering restructuring these enterprises, and I don't know if Mr. Qin has any intentions for this. ā€

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Mayor Shen, I'm really sorry, I may not be too interested in what you said about the restructuring of machinery enterprises. It is true that there are different businesses within our group, but when it comes to Jintang, we only plan to set foot in the chemical field for the time being, so that it is easy to integrate resources and manage. The machinery industry you mentioned, we only plan to put it in Nord Stream at present, this is also because our original industry in Nord Stream is in the field of machinery. ā€

"I see." Shen Chuanming nodded, "It seems that we are indeed a little abrupt. ā€

Rao Ronggen took Shen Chuanming's words and said: "Mayor Chuanming's mood is also understandable, because the current economic situation of our Jintang is too bad. Mayor Chuanming is also worried about me, I, as the mayor, can't even guarantee the salary of the city's organs and institutions, and the primary and secondary school teachers in several counties below have not received their salaries for three months, you say, can we not be in a hurry? ā€

"Is it that bad?" Qin Hai was stunned.

He had never done local administration, so he did not know about the local finances. According to the division of labor, the expenses for primary and secondary education are borne by the local finances, and if the finances do not have the money, it is impossible to guarantee the payment of salaries to primary and secondary school teachers. At that time, it was not uncommon for financially strapped areas like Jintang to occur, and it was not unthinkable for government staff not to receive their salaries for several months, let alone primary and secondary schools with lower status than government agencies.

The decline of Jintang's economy was already felt when Qin Hai came the last time he came. But this time, he was warmly welcomed by Rao Ronggen as soon as he got off the train, he was in an Audi 100 car, he ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the liquor on the table was also a valuable wine, so he felt that Jintang might not be as poor as it seemed on the street. Who would have thought that Rao Ronggen's mouth would be much worse than Qin Hai expected.

"Mayor Zhu, come over here and report the situation of our Jintang education to Mr. Qin." Rao Ronggen raised his hand and greeted a middle-aged man sitting at another table.

The man was the deputy mayor of Jintang City in charge of education, named Zhu Yichen. Today's cocktail party, the city government has already conducted a rehearsal in advance, and the division of labor is clear. Shen Chuanming's task was to sell Qin Hai the companies in the city that were on the verge of bankruptcy, and according to everyone's analysis, he thought that Qin Hai should not be interested in these enterprises. After Shen Chuanming's sales failed, Rao Ronggen was responsible for leading the topic to Jintang's economic difficulties, and after that, it was Zhu Yichen's turn to come to Qin Hai.

Shen Chuanming's sales pitch was not untargeted, his purpose was to distract Qin Hai's attention, making Qin Hai feel sorry for not helping Jintang, so that it would be easier for Zhu Yichen to come back to make a relationship. If it weren't for Shen Chuanming's subtlety, Qin Hai would have thought that he had already made a lot of contributions to Jintang by investing in chemical companies in Jintang, and he would not be obliged to do anything else.

It has to be said that when it comes to money, the wisdom of the officials is infinite, and their thinking is also extremely meticulous. What they have to do is to lay out a game and slowly lead Qin Hai into the trap.

Hearing Rao Ronggen's call, Zhu Yichen hurriedly ran over, pulled over a chair, and sat beside Qin Hai. In order to perform today's scene, Zhu Yichen also put in a lot of effort, and specially changed into a set of old clothes, which made people feel that he was a poor mayor at a glance.

"Mr. Qin, if Mayor Rao doesn't call me, I don't dare to come over and disturb you. In fact, I would very much like to express our gratitude to Mr. Qin for our 38,000 teachers in Jintang. Zhu Yichen said in a sincere tone.

"Mayor Zhu, don't say that, I didn't do anything, I can't stand your thanks." Qin Hai waved his hand and said.

"Why didn't you do anything?" Zhu Yichen said with a glare, he pointed to Ning Mo next to him, and said: "Mr. Ning can testify that last year, several enterprises such as Jinnan Factory and Hongguang Factory jointly donated 100,000 yuan for Jintang's education. Mr. Ning said, this is what you have specially explained. ā€

"Oh, this is what we should do, Mayor Zhu doesn't have to worry about it." Qin Hai nodded and said.

The donation of education is indeed what he has explained. Not only a few enterprises in Jintang, including Qingfeng Factory and Quwu Ceramics Company, but Qin Hai demanded that these enterprises take a certain percentage of their profits every year to fund local education. The purpose of this is that he feels that the current investment in education is insufficient and hopes that he can do his part, and secondly, he wants to use this method to bring the relationship between the company and the local government closer.

After all, an enterprise must deal with the government at the local level, and assume some local social responsibilities can improve the image of the enterprise in the eyes of the government, which is also beneficial to the development of the enterprise. (To be continued......)
