Liu Shuo never expected that just a few days after he released his wild words, Takehiko Takamura really came to Quwu. He and Changyou Shuichi were accompanied by seven or eight officials from the capital and the province, and there were as many as five cars alone. After a careful inquiry, the origin of these Beijing officials is so big that they are scared to death, not to mention Liu Shuo, even Mo Kongchao is a little unbearable.

"This is Director Chen Yuan of the State Economic Commission."

"This is Director Zhao Bowen of the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"This is Director Wang Jiacheng of the Ministry of Light Industry."

“……”

As the names of the officials were announced, the faces of the secretaries and mayors who greeted them in front of the city government office building changed, and they all looked at Mo Kongchao with deep doubts. Quwu is a small place, and it is a great thing to have a Beijing official on weekdays, but now there are four or five bureau-level officials in Beijing at once, accompanied by officials at the level of deputy directors of several departments in the province, and this formation is really a bit terrifying.

It is a good thing that a small prefecture-level city is favored by higher-level leaders. However, it is absolutely not a simple matter for the higher-level leaders to appear in such a high density, and it is more likely that there is something wrong with the local work, and a joint working group has been sent from above to find fault.

"Old Mo, what's going on?" Mayor Zheng Zepeng pulled Mo Kongchao aside and asked him in a low voice. Before these officials came to Quwu, they greeted the locals, saying that they were inspecting industrial matters. The composition of several officials is also completely consistent with this statement, so Zheng Zepeng believes that this matter must be related to the Mo Kong Dynasty.

"Lao Zheng, I don't know." Mo Kongchao said, "You see that Japanese no, it's called Gao Cun or something, I heard Liu Shuo, the director of my brother's ceramic factory, tell me about it two days ago." Say that this person may have some thoughts about the brother ceramics factory...... However, how could he get involved with the people in the central government? ”

The Brother Ceramics Factory is not a big enterprise in Quwu, but in the past month, due to the endless stream of foreign businessmen who have come to visit, and Mo Kongchao's report that this factory may make hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign trade business, the city secretary and mayor have naturally paid special attention to it. I heard that Liu Shuoyou, the director of the factory, had already talked about Takehiko Takamura a few days ago. Zheng Zepeng believed that this large group of officials from central ministries and commissions gathered in Quwu must have come to the Brother Ceramics Factory.

"What did Liu Shuo say, did they disrespect foreign guests somewhere?" Zheng Zepeng asked. For such a big matter, he, as the mayor, must be aware of it, otherwise if the leader above asks what the starting point is, but he doesn't know what to do, it will be troublesome.

Mo Kongchao shook his head and said, "No." Liu Shuo just said that this Takamura Takehiko is a person from a ceramic company in Japan, and he is a competitor to the brother ceramic factory, but he did not say that there has been any conflict between them. ”

"In this matter, you have to hurry up and implement it to Liu Shuo again, and ask what is going on between them." Zheng Zepeng advised.

"Okay, I'll do it in a minute." Mo Kongchao agreed.

The shape of the scene did not allow Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao to say anything, and the guests and hosts had to introduce each other. also had to shake hands and greet each other, the two of them were the deputy mayors. Obviously, you can't stay out of it. After the chaotic welcome ceremony, the secretary retired first, and Zheng Zepeng led everyone into the municipal government office building and sat down in the large conference room. These officials from above are all from the economic department, so the reception work is naturally led by the government.

"All leaders are very welcome to come to our Quwu to inspect and guide the work......," Zheng Zepeng began the conversation with a set of all-purpose officialdom rhetoric, and he couldn't figure out the intentions of these officials. I can only say something big and generalize first, and try the other party's reaction.

"Thank you Quwu City for your warm hospitality, and thank Mayor Zheng and Mayor Mo for putting down their work to welcome us in their busy schedules." Chen Yuan, the leader of the guest side, is a director of the State Economic Commission and is in her early 50s. He always has a professional smile on his face, and he seems extremely capable in speaking and doing things.

"This time, Director Zhao, Director Wang, and I accompanied Mr. Gao Cun and Mr. Changyou to Quwu, and made a special trip to report good news to you. Japan Kusella Ceramics Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned ceramic manufacturer, products are sold all over the world, and there are production bases and sales centers in more than 40 countries around the world. With the gradual implementation of China's reform and opening up, Kusella Ceramics Co., Ltd. saw the strong market potential of China and decided to invest in the construction of a large-scale ceramic production base in China, with an investment of up to 200 million US dollars in the first phase! Chen Yuan waved his arms and made an impassioned movement.

Everyone in the conference room has been tested by officialdom for a long time, how can they not know the meaning of this action. There was no need for anyone to take the lead, so everyone applauded together and applauded Chen Yuan's words.

In the midst of the warm applause, if someone observes carefully, they can find some subtle differences in the expressions of the applauding people. The officials from the ministries and the officials from Lynsey Province who accompanied them applauded with a look of joy and excitement on their faces, apparently moved by the huge investment of $200 million. And the local personnel in Quwu City, although the sound of applause was not small, the expression on their faces was much more indifferent, especially Mo Kongchao, who even had a little disdain in his eyes.

The $200 million foreign investment was indeed a sensational enough at that time. It is precisely because the amount of investment is so amazing that the State Economic Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Light Industry and other departments will send department-level officials to accompany Takehiko Takamura at the same time. If an investment of this magnitude falls in a certain province, it is not too much for officials at the level of vice governors to come out and support it. Chen Yuan felt a little proud when she said this number, she imagined that Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao should be pleasantly surprised, so excited that they even immediately stood up and made all kinds of sworn statements.

However, Chen Yuan's idea was just wishful thinking on her part. If this happened a month ago, maybe Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao's cousins would really be as she expected. But in the past month, hundreds of millions of dollars have been repeatedly said many times in the office meetings of the Quwu municipal government, which is the estimated annual foreign trade business volume of a company under their management, and with such a figure at the bottom, how can they be shocked by the investment of 200 million US dollars?

The most important thing is that Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao are like mirrors in their hearts, and Kusella suddenly made the decision to invest $200 million in China at this time. Moreover, several officials accompanied Takehiko Takamura to Quwu at the same time, obviously the drunkard did not mean to drink, they must have come to the brother ceramics factory. What kind of evil intentions are contained in this, the two local officials can basically guess one or two.

Chen Yuan waited for a few seconds, but did not see the excited look she expected on the faces of Zheng and Mo, and suddenly felt contempt. In her opinion. Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao must not have linked the $200 million to Quwu City, so they had such an indifferent expression. The local officials, Su zhì must be very bad, they have such an obvious hint, they can't see it, it's really incurable.

"What, Mayor Zheng, Mayor Mo, you haven't thought of it yet, have you? Japanese friends have decided to base this base. Built on your Quwu! Chen Yuan decided not to wait any longer, and she directly revealed the mystery that had no suspense at all.

"Uh-uh...... yes, I didn't expect that. We very much welcome the company to invest in Quwu, and thank Director Chen, Director Zhao, Director Wang, Mr. Takamura and Mr. Changyou. Zheng Zepeng hurriedly pretended to be sincerely frightened and said a circle of thanks. However, he knew that things were not so simple, and there must be something else behind Kussela's generosity. And these things may bring trouble to Qu Wu. And not the benefits. With such a thought, his face became quite stiff.

Chen Yuan was disappointed by Zheng Zepeng's dry statement, she laughed dryly twice, and said to Zhao Bowen and Wang Jiacheng beside her: "Hehe, it seems that Quwu's comrades are so excited by this good news that they don't know what to say, it's no wonder." A prefecture-level city has attracted $200 million in investment at once, and this is only the first phase of investment, which is also shocking when viewed at the whole country. ”

"Mayor Zheng, we have such good news for you. Why don't you treat us to a drink? Zhao Bowen laughed and teased, his opinion was the same as Chen Yuan, they all thought that Zheng Zepeng must have been stupid by such good news, so he needed to make a harmless joke to help Zheng Zepeng get his reason back.

When Zheng Zepeng heard the words of the two ministry officials, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but it was inconvenient for him to speak out. In terms of level, he is at the same level as Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and others, and he is even greater than them in terms of real power. But a Beijing official is a Beijing official, and when you come to the locality, you are a leader, and people can ridicule you, but you can't ridicule others, otherwise you will be suspected of "disrespecting the central government."

"Thank you leaders for bringing us such a good opportunity, the wine must be drunk, otherwise it is not enough to express the gratitude of our Quwu people to the superior leaders." Zheng Zepeng said a compliment, then changed the conversation and asked, "I want to inquire, what exactly does the Kusella company plan to invest 200 million US dollars in us?" Also, what cooperation is needed from our city, while all the leaders are present, I also ask Mr. Takamura to make it clear, so that it is convenient for us to make arrangements. ”

"Mayor Zheng is really a cadre, the first thing I thought of was how to do things, this kind of practical spirit is worth learning from." Chen Yuan felt that she seemed to understand Zheng Zepeng a little: Zheng Zepeng must be worried that the investment amount of 200 million US dollars was too large for Quwu City to bear, so he had this nervous expression. She turned her head to Takehiko Takamura and said, "Mr. Takamura, please introduce your company's investment intention to Mayor Zheng, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, we will work on the spot, and we can give you some clear answers now." ”

"Thank you, Director Chen, and Mayor Zheng." Takehiko Takamura stood up, bowed to the audience one by one, and then said: "Our Kucera company is very optimistic about the rich coal resources and porcelain clay resources in Quwu City, and is ready to invest in the construction of a production base in Quwu, specializing in the production of high-end ceramic daily necessities that meet the needs of the international market. We hope to build a 200-hectare ceramic industrial park with 4,000 employees and an annual production of ceramic products worth US$500 million......"

As he spoke, Zheng Zepeng and Mo Kongchao kept exchanging glances, looking for his true intentions from his official-like speeches. Finally, after describing a long period of vision, Takehiko Takamura touched on the key question:

"In order to shorten our construction period, and at the same time, in order to better absorb the management experience of Chinese friends and reduce the cultural conflict in management, we hope to be able to choose one or two local ceramic enterprises in Quwu City for joint ventures. We are able to provide a full set of advanced production technology, production lines and management models from Japan, and all investments are undertaken by Kucera Company. ”

And so it was...... Mo Kongchao snorted coldly in his heart.

There is nothing unique about the coal and china clay in Quwu, and there are many places in China with the same resource conditions, so the Kusella company chose Quwu as the investment location, not because of the resources here, as Takehiko Takamura said.

Leaving the problem of resources, then Kusella is obviously interested in Quwu's enterprise, and it can even be said that it is the brother ceramic factory. Liu Shuo once told Mo Kongchao that the ceramic knife they developed was unique in the world, and no company could produce similar products. Obviously, Kusella coveted the technology of the brother ceramics factory, so he wanted to quietly take the brother ceramics factory into his pocket in the name of a joint venture.

The $200 million sum of money will be accepted happily if it is used to acquire any other company in Quwu, and he can even promise to buy one get one free. However, when it comes to the head of the Brother Ceramics Factory, Mo Kongchao can only hehe, these days the Brother Ceramics Factory has signed a cooperative sales agreement all over the world, and the annual sales promised by the seller alone have reached more than 100 million US dollars. Such a hen that can lay golden eggs, if someone buys it for a mere 200 million US dollars, then Mo Kongchao will have to wipe his neck.

"Mr. Takamura's request is very realistic and reasonable, and we have no opinion. We currently have five medium-sized state-owned ceramic enterprises in Quwu City, among which the scale and technical strength are the strongest, is Quwu pottery and pottery, if Mr. Takamura agrees, we are willing to come up with these two ceramic factories to cooperate with the Japanese side, Mr. Takamura thinks what? ”

Mo Kongchao put on a happy look and threw a jian yì to Takehiko Takamura that he couldn't calm down. (To be continued......)
