Chapter 121: Hometown Investigation [Yesterday's Third]
After the meal, when Shi Zhong proposed to "lend" the jeep to Xu Wei, Xu Wei refused to accept it, Shi Zhong said that he had something important to fly back, the car was useless, Xu Wei only said to help Shi Zhong watch, seeing that Lu Xiaoman was anxious, although he and Xu Wei's salary was not low, but it was to pay the down payment for the house, this car, it is estimated that there is no hope for the time being, I didn't expect the pie to fall from the sky, this wooden head is actually not open, but I can't open my mouth, so I can only do it in a hurry.
Shi Zhong said with a serious face: "Third child, do you still think that I am your brother?" ”
Xu Wei said in a rough voice: "Second brother, what are you talking about, in my Xu Wei's heart, we are more brothers than brothers!" ”
"Isn't this enough, why are brothers so particular about it?"
Xu Wei was helpless, the words came to this point, so he had to accept it, and Li Xiaoman, who was on the side, smiled, and finally had a car to drive, although it was not his own.
The next day, Shi Zhong followed Andrew on a flight to Changnan City, got on the plane at 10 o'clock, and after a flight of more than two hours, Shi Zhong and others flew to Changnan City, the capital of Xijiang Province, at half past eight.
One year after graduation, this is the first time Shi Zhong has set foot on the land of his hometown, although strictly speaking, Changnan City is not his hometown at all, even so, Shi Zhong still rushed to a burst of excitement, perhaps this is the unique hometown complex of Chinese.
When he saw the two Mercedes-Benz stopped at the exit early to greet him, Shi Zhong had to sigh that Andrew's financial resources were indeed strong for people to look up to, and even inland cities like Changnan City had industries, Shi Zhong really doubted that there was no city in China that he did not touch.
The Mercedes-Benz is fast and comfortable, and Shi Zhong has the idea of making money to buy a Mercedes-Benz in the future.
Originally, Shi Zhong thought it was just an ordinary business negotiation, but when he saw the people waiting at the door of Rao's water company, Shi Zhong knew that the entire leadership team of Rao's water company had come to greet him, and Andrew's personal team that came to Rao's company first, there were more than 20 people standing at the door of the water company.
Hou Guanglin, the manager of Rao's listing, is a chubby middle-aged man, although it is November, but the temperature of Rao's listing is still not low, standing for two hours, beads of sweat have appeared on his forehead, and behind him, the four deputy managers also have the same expression, but the deputy mayor Xu is staring into the distance, his face is calm, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
Seeing Andrew's car arrive, Vice Mayor Xu stepped forward quickly, waited for Andrew to get out of the car, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Andrew, welcome to Rao Market for inspection!" ”
After Andrew and Vice Mayor Xu shook hands, he smiled faintly and said, "Mayor Xu, I am very uneasy that you are waiting here!" "Obviously, before he came here, he received information that he was talking to a deputy mayor.
"Where, as the host, this bit of etiquette is still required, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Andrew is a China expert, and we dare not slack off in this regard!" Vice Mayor Xu said with a smile.
"Mayor Xu, let me introduce you, this is Shi Zhong, my partner this time!" Andrew introduced.
"Mr. Shi is young and promising, sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the world in the future will be yours!" Deputy Mayor Xu stretched out his hand, but there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, so young to be able to cooperate with Andrew, it seems that he has an extraordinary background, Andrew's background he has studied, and he is a very influential businessman in the UK.
"Mayor Xu praised it falsely, Mayor Xu's demeanor can be called a model for my generation!" Shi Zhong had a feeling of being flattered, in the past, such a high-ranking mayor would not look at himself, faintly, Shi Zhong felt that perhaps it was not a useless choice to be invested in a water company by Andrew.
"Mayor Xu may not know that Shi Ke is the people of Rao!" Andrew laughed.
"On behalf of the people of my hometown, I welcome Mr. Shi back to his hometown to invest!" Vice Mayor Xu was even more surprised this time, and at the same time had a little expectation in his heart, Shi Zhong is Rao's listing, so the next negotiations may be...
Next, I met with the leading group of the water company, everyone exchanged a few words, because it was already half past eleven, so everyone went directly to the booked restaurant to eat, in fact, eating can also talk about business, this is the business of the Chinese, sometimes it is better to solve some problems at the dinner table.
However, obviously, Vice Mayor Xu's abacus was empty, and Andrew was like a cunning fox, not mentioning anything about investment and acquisition at the dinner table.
To be honest, Shi Zhong was not interested in any negotiations, because he knew that with Andrew's team of elites, he didn't have to worry about anything at all, so Shi Zhong rarely spoke at the dinner table, and only took a few words when Vice Mayor Xu chatted with him, and Vice Mayor Xu saw that Shi Zhong seemed to have no intention of interfering in the negotiations, so he stopped thinking about befriending Shi Zhong.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strong, Vice Mayor Xu deserved to be able to climb to the level of deputy mayor, although he did not enter the norm, but this emotional intelligence is not comparable to ordinary people, plus there is Hou Guanglin, the manager of the water company, next to him, naturally the guests and hosts are happy, and everyone talks happily.
After eating, Andrew put forward the idea of inspecting the technical equipment of the water company, Vice Mayor Xu naturally nodded in agreement, he wished to sign the letter of intent as soon as possible, you know, this time the city arranged for him to be in charge of this matter, he was originally refused, and felt that the introduction of foreign capital to control the people's livelihood resources, some inappropriate, but the water company has suffered huge losses year after year, which has made the city very dissatisfied, and the introduction of foreign capital is a deliberate decision of the municipal party committee, and he can only implement it.
Founded in 1964 with a registered capital of 300 million yuan, Rao listed water supply company is a municipal public service surname state-owned enterprise, subordinate to the Rao listed urban management bureau. It is mainly engaged in the production and supply of urban tap water, and at the same time concurrently operates supporting services with the main business.
Rao listed water supply company is mainly responsible for the production and supply of tap water in Rao listed urban area. The main functional departments are as follows: Xinjiang Water Plant, water supply sales company, and maintenance team; The economic entities with reading power legal persons are: industrial head office, installation team, space water plant, water meter assembly plant, forming an enterprise group focusing on water supply, integrating water supply engineering, water meter assembly, water quality testing, pipeline installation, mineral water production and economic and trade.
And such a huge state-owned enterprise, actually loses tens of millions of dollars every year, this time the introduction of foreign capital is also a last resort, willing to give up 51% of the shares to foreigners to operate, but the political axe has a requirement, foreign capital can only account for 47% of the shares, and the other 4% of the shares must be Chinese, as for who, but Andrew himself proposed, this is also self-deception, when the people protest, it can be said that the absolute equity of the water plant is still in the hands of China.
Because of this concern, this time even the reporter was not invited, for fear of arousing public dissatisfaction, after all, most people do not understand the purchase of industries related to people's livelihood to foreigners.
said that he was going to visit and inspect the equipment of the water company, but in fact, it was a walk, and it was over in less than an hour, and then, Andrew proposed to go to the water source area to see, that is, the Qiyi Reservoir.
