At this time, Gu Xichao came.

When he saw a few people in front of him, Gu Xichao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the two heavyweight big brothers of the island city to appear here.

If it weren't for Liu Tao's invitation, he would never have come. After all, he is also an official, and when he gets together with these mixed societies, if he is seen by others, he will inevitably gossip.

Under the greeting of a group of people, Gu Xichao sat down.

"Secretary Gu, let me introduce you." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Boss, I don't need to introduce you. We have all met with Secretary Gu before and chatted a few words. Xu Ping said.

"That's the best thing to say. Secretary Gu, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the banquet. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, don't say that. You're just too much of an outlier to say that, aren't you? Gu Xichao waved his hand and said.

"Secretary Gu, both of them are following me now. I hope you will be able to take care of it in the future. Liu Tao said seriously.

"Huh? Mr. Liu, are you telling the truth? When Gu Xichao heard the news, he almost didn't spit out the tea he had drunk in his mouth.

"I never make jokes like that." Liu Tao said very strictly.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for having such two more capable players around him. Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine. Gu Xichao said.

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! Come on, everyone, do it! Liu Tao picked up the wine glass in front of him.

Drink it all.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the food.

Everyone chatted while eating.

"Secretary Gu, is Zhang Zhengyi's matter ready to be dealt with by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Liu Tao grabbed a piece of fish and threw it in his mouth and asked.

"Zhang Zhengyi's level is very high, and he is no longer under the control of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. At present, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has sent someone to take over. Gu Xichao said.

"It seems that he is destined to spend a few years in prison this time. With such a vacant position vacating this time, there should be a lot of people waiting to fill the vacancy, right? Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"Sometimes it's just luck in officialdom. If it weren't for the fall of Vice Mayor Zhang, I'm afraid that some people might not be able to climb up even if they survive until retirement. Now that such a position is vacated, but anyone with a little qualification is eyeing it. Gu Xichao said.

"This position is not small for many people, but it is a little lower for Cui Guodong. He is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of the island city, and if he comes to the island city to become a deputy mayor, it looks like he has been demoted. It's a bit of a shame. Liu Tao said with emotion.

"Cui Guodong is now running Binjiang City well. If nothing else, it is very likely that he will be transferred out of Binjiang City and become mayor in another prefecture-level city. Of course, if the island city has this vacancy. It is not impossible for him to ascend. However, the level of island cities is at the sub-provincial level, and the mayors of other prefecture-level cities are generally transferred from other prefecture-level cities. Gu Xichao explained.

"It's his own business, and I'm better not to worry about him. To be honest, I wish he could stay in Binjiang for a few more years. Now Binjiang's development momentum is good, if he can stay a few more years. You can accumulate more children's political capital. Liu Tao said quickly.

"Yes. Now the development of Binjiang City has attracted great attention from the province. The province is ready to increase its support for Binjiang City, and the island city will inevitably increase its support as well. Sometimes I envy Secretary Cui, there is such a capable person as you in my hometown, even a stone can be turned into gold. Gu Xichao said with emotion.

"The island city is also developing well. However, it may take a long time for the island city to become an international metropolis. Among other things, the number of enterprises in the island city is simply pitiful compared to other big cities. The names that can be named are the two companies of Seagull and Haibao. There is also an island city beer. Few of the well-known large enterprises have invested in building factories or establishing technology research and development centers in the island city. As far as I can say, the development of island cities should not be so closed, especially not to keep other companies out in order to protect the two companies, Seagull and Haibao. Otherwise, it will go on for a long time. Eventually, there may be only a few companies left in the island city. Liu Tao reminded.

"Seagull and Hypertherm are also working hard to upgrade their industries. Both companies have already invested in the construction of production lines in Binjiang City. After the company completes the industrial upgrading, the island city will increase its efforts to attract investment. Gu Xichao nodded and said.

"Technology is at the heart of a business. Industrial upgrading is a good thing, and the city should vigorously support it. By the way, I will return to Binjiang tomorrow, when will the three billion invested by the island city be in place? Liu Tao changed the subject.

"It's not an investment, it's a loan. Where can local governments participate in investment. Gu Xichao corrected.

"That's right! It's borrowing, not investing. What time is in place? Liu Tao was made to cry and laugh by the other party's strict prohibition of words.

"When will this project be approved? The funds will be available on the second day of the project. Gu Xichao replied.

"I estimate that the project will be approved in two days. I had met Secretary Cui before I came to the island city, and I also told him that I was going to invest in the establishment of an automobile manufacturing company. Liu Tao said.

"When the project is approved, you can fax it to me. I'll do the rest for you. Gu Xichao said.

"Okay. Here, let's have another drink. Liu Tao said.

The two sides had a good time. I was very happy.

Xu Ping and Lan Cuishan saw that the boss was chatting with Gu Xichao so happily, and they said in their hearts that they had finally followed the right person.

As long as the boss doesn't fall, the younger brother will never suffer.

They all know that.

When everyone had eaten about the same, Liu Tao excused himself to go to the bathroom. Then I went down and settled the bill.

"Secretary Gu, I'm going back to Binjiang tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the island city for a while. If you have time, you can go to Binjiang to find me. Liu Tao held the other party's hand and said.

"Okay. I'm going to Binjiang City next month to inspect the work, and we'll meet again then. Gu Xichao nodded.

After sending Gu Xichao away, Liu Tao said to Xu Ping and Lan Cuishan: "You two must work together in the future." Don't do anything that holds you back, lest you let others see the joke. ”

Xu Ping and Lan Cuishan nodded again and again.

"Old man, every time I come to the island city, I have to trouble you, it's really a little unpleasant." After Xu Ping and Lan Cuishan left, Liu Tao said to Baichuan with some embarrassment.

"The young master is too polite. I am a member of the Baolong clan, and all the qiē I own belong to the Baolong clan. The young lord came to the island city to look for me and looked up to me. Fang Baichuan lowered his head and said.

"Don't worry, I will never treat my subordinates badly. You are loyal to me, and to the Baolong family. If I have the opportunity, I will help you wash the marrow and build the foundation and prolong your life. Liu Tao said.

"Thank you, young master!" After listening to Liu Tao's words, Fang Baichuan was excited in his heart. He is now an old man in the armor, and he doesn't know when he will say goodbye to the world. Now that there is a chance for him to live a few more years, how can he not be happy and excited.

"Alright. You can go back too. Liu Tao said.

Fang Baichuan turned around and left.

After they all left, Liu Tao stayed directly at the Holiday Inn. In the evening, he had to continue practicing. (To be continued.) )
