Chapter 110: Someone from above
Lin Qiangsheng also understands these people, after all, it is not easy to have a chance to have a banquet! Looking at the hungry eyes of his subordinates, and salivating when he saw the meat, even Zhou Hua was embarrassed to talk more, so he almost waved his hand and shouted to eat!
It doesn't take many words, all the cadres in the organization department can come, and if you don't let anyone come at this time, you can hate you for a lifetime! Everyone started one after another, attacking the meat dishes vigorously, silently bowing their heads one by one, and stuffing them into their mouths.
Zhou Hua looked at the foreign guests in embarrassment, and the three of Leon were silently sipping champagne, and they were no longer surprised by these Chinese officials.
The officials in the central government are okay these days, everyone maintains their self-esteem in front of outsiders, what is etiquette in the eyes of these people in the lower places, can there be meat important? Nowadays, many of the salaries of cadres are not as good as those of workers, and they are all caused by their own hard work! There is a shadow in the psyche, so it will be even worse in the future, eat! Drink!
Lin Qiangsheng sat next to Zhou Hua and whispered to him: "Minister Zhou, do you want to talk to the palace director, it's not a big deal to eat like this!" What does the province really think? How does the province plan to treat the investment plan of foreign guests? β
Lyon proposed two cooperation plans to the province, the first of which was a joint venture with a car factory in Ben Thanh, where the two sides would jointly fund the formation of a new car company; Or without the investment of the automobile factory, cooperative production and assembly of parts can be done. The second plan is a big goal, but it is not as difficult as cooperating with a car factory, and Lyon and his entourage proposed to the province to invest in a large auto parts manufacturing base in the provincial capital to supply spare parts for the car factory and other domestic car manufacturers.
The former is not something that the province can decide, and the central government has to say whether or not the automobile factory is a joint venture. But the latter is much simpler in operation, it is nothing more than the production of auto parts, it is just a factory, but the plan of auto parts production base is too attractive for the province!
Of course, this is Lin Qiangsheng's idea, whether it is investment or technology investment to build a factory, the province should be more interested, which is also supported by the central government.
But now the province is not easy to get an idea, and is still applying to the central superiors, and at the same time, the provincial leaders are also studying which plan can be implemented first, and they tend to the latter.
Zhou Hua felt that Lin Qiangsheng's guy was good, and he solved his own ** annoyance. It would be bad if the foreign guests didn't come this time, and the subordinates had been waiting for the banquet for days.
Zhou Hua said: "The two proposals proposed by foreign guests have been reported to the central government for approval. This is not something that our local government can decide, and we can only negotiate with foreign guests after the central government approves it. β
Lin Qiangsheng sighed and shook his head, he couldn't imagine that the place was so controlled in this era! The planned economy is like this, the central government wants to manage everything so that the lower levels can implement it step by step. However, in actual production and economic activities, it is impossible to achieve management in place at all times. In the matter of cooperation between province h and foreign businessmen, it has also been supervised by the above, and if the above does not relax, they cannot talk about it.
"No wonder the banquets are endless, it turns out that the province is dragging time here!" Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile and gave Zhou Hua a step down.
Zhou Hua's face was slightly red, and he smiled embarrassedly. Whether it is delaying time or officials taking advantage of the public uninvited, only you know.
As for why the cadres are so keen on eating, it is even more inconvenient to elaborate. Zhou Hua smiled, the young man is very interesting, sometimes like a little adult.
He was also willing to reveal a few more words, Zhou Hua said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Soon, the central government heard that Peugeot Company is coming to our H province, and it also attaches great importance to it!" I've already sent someone over, and I'll be there in about a day or two! β
Lin Qiangsheng saw a hint of interest on Minister Zhou Hua's face, and guessed that the central government was probably sending some senior officials to come to H Province. After all, after Deng Lao visited Japan's Nissan Motor Company in 78 years, Deng Lao was deeply impressed by the modernization level of his workshop. After returning, he sent official letters to many automobile companies around the world, expressing his desire to cooperate with them. However, only the German Volkswagen responded to the Chinese people, and the Japanese were unwilling to provide technology and only exported automobiles. Most companies in Europe and the United States don't even care about China's auto market.
At present, only one German Volkswagen company has come to China to discuss cooperation, and the other companies ignore the Chinese. Now another automobile company has come to China to discuss cooperation, which is undoubtedly very exciting news for the central leaders.
The central leadership really arrived soon, and after the provincial party committee finished eating, it was the turn of the provincial government to entertain foreign guests, and someone came from above!
Lin Qiangsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, if there were no more people from above, he was worried that Leon and his party would be tired to death at the table, and he would almost be unable to withstand the increasingly irritable temper of Leon and the three.
All departments of the provincial government are a little regretful, it is not their turn to eat, this is cut off, how can people continue to invite? ! The municipal party committee and government are even more regretful that they have not even seen the faces of foreign guests, and naturally they have not eaten the banquet.
At the same time, he is also in charge of foreign economic relations and trade, and concurrently serves as chairman of the State Import and Export Administration Commission, the Foreign Investment Management Commission, and vice chairman of the State Development Planning Commission.
In the future, Vice Premier Gu Mu will also carry out the pilot work of reforming the housing infrastructure management system and expand the autonomy of the operation and management of state-owned construction enterprises. He put forward the idea of gradually commercializing housing at an early stage, and supported the pilot project of building houses and selling them to workers in Xi'an, Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and other cities, which was affirmed by the central authorities and accumulated valuable experience for the later reform of the urban housing system.
He actively advocated the absorption of foreign investment, the introduction of foreign loans, the support of the World Bank for China's capital and personnel training, and the promotion of the reform of the foreign trade system, which played an important role in the initial development of opening up to the outside world in the new period.
In short, this leader is a pioneer of reform, a person who has forged ahead, and many important reforms have come from his hands.
The three people in Lyon suits and leather shoes met with the foreign trade and economic cooperation group led by Gu Mu, and everyone talked friendly and treated each other frankly, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
How to talk about it, what to talk about, Lin Qiangsheng has explained to Leon and others, naturally there is no fork, and foreigners pretend to be foreign, and no one can see it. The eyes are sunken, hairy, and not easy for people to see.
Gu Mu said with a smile: "Welcome friends from France, come to our country to inspect cooperative investment, our country is now implementing the policy of reform and opening up, welcome companies and institutions from all over the world to invest in industry and commerce in our country, whether it is cooperative management, direct investment, processing and other forms, we are very welcome!" β
Lin Qiangsheng sat in the position of translator and acted as a translator for Leon and others, he had to follow! He was very worried that Leon had said the wrong thing and revealed his stuffing, and that would be a big trouble! Dare to fool the country, Lin Qiangsheng is almost to the point where he is impatient.
"We have seen China's progress, China's efforts, especially your strategy of reform and opening up, which has been very successful," Leon said. There is no other country in the world that still practices self-isolation, except for Vietnam, but Vietnam is also your enemy now, isn't it?! After saying that, Leon laughed nervously. He felt that these two friends, who used to fight side by side, are now fighting, which is very interesting, which is why he supports him to come to China to have a look.
Gu Mu also smiled: "If China wants to develop, it can't do without the world, and the world can't do without China if it wants to develop!" We look forward to the success of this cooperation between you and us, I believe that you will also benefit a lot in the future, China's market is very large, we welcome foreign technology and investment, you also need China's vast market. The premise of cooperation between the two sides is there, and we will come together! When Gu Mu spoke, he was very infectious. His thin cheeks, combined with the small movements of his hand at times, imbued his words with convincing power.
Leon nodded with a smile and said: "I hope that the two sides can reach an agreement on this cooperation, and I wish this cooperation a success!" β
At the end of the talks, Lin Qiangsheng looked at Leon, who came to his senses and proposed to Gu Mu and others again to visit the Bincheng Automobile Factory, and also proposed a joint venture with the automobile factory and a cooperation project to invest in the auto parts manufacturing base.
Gu Mudu smiled and promised to start negotiations immediately, and immediately arranged for foreign guests to visit, as for the foreign investment plan can start talking after the visit.
Gu Mu and the others returned to the resident hotel, and the foreign businessmen's visit was arranged by the province, and he summoned the people of foreign trade and economic cooperation in the guest room, and said: "Let's be simple, let's have a meeting here." β
This time, Vice Premier Gu Mu came with five people, including the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and two from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and two from the Ministry of Machinery, and Rao Bin, the Minister of the First Machinery Department, who is mainly responsible for the automobile industry, and his subordinates.
Gu Mu asked the personnel of foreign trade and economic cooperation: "Have the personnel of the French side verified?" β
An attachΓ© of foreign trade and economic cooperation said: "I have verified, I have called the French Peugeot company, and their executive vice president Bregley personally said that this Lyon represents Peugeot." β
Gu Mu paused, nodded and said, "The negotiation is hard!" For the French to invest as much as possible, we urgently need capital and technology! Two automobile companies have already come to China, and the results are gratifying! β
Minister Raobin also smiled: "Yes! I still remember last year when we invited foreign companies to invest, the Americans actually said they were not interested! The Japanese say they don't want to create a competitor on their doorstep! β
Gu Mu and Rao Bin looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and Rao Bin continued: "Fortunately, it didn't take long for the German Volkswagen company to come to China after that!" β
Then Rao Bin suddenly thought about it and asked, "By the way, the car factory in Bincheng is also called Volkswagen, what's going on?" β
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, and an attachΓ© of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation said uncertainly: "It can't be that this factory has preemptively registered a trademark, right?" β
Rao Bin said angrily: "Play the piano randomly!" The comrades on the SH side also mentioned this matter to me, how can this factory use the name of Volkswagen? Joke! They should be renamed! β
Gu Mu smiled, but he didn't express any opinions, and said: "The Germans are talking about cooperation, and the French are also talking about cooperation, and both sides are talking. If the French are really sincere in investing, they really want to see who develops fast! β
