Chapter 251: Yunchuan Invited
The news of the EU delegation's visit to Luzhong City reached Yunchuan City, and Guo Kailai, the secretary of Yunchuan City, could not sit still. In the past, Yunchuan City was an old industrial base in China, but later economic reforms and market impacts, many enterprises were hit. Because the economic lifeline of Yunchuan City is based on ceramics as a pillar, but due to the general backwardness of technology and the lack of raw materials in the ceramic industry, the cost of a large number of enterprises has risen, and sales have been blocked. The ceramic enterprises in Yunchuan City were once reduced to the point of only selling floor tiles. It is due to the injection of 20 billion funds by the British businessman Mason that a modern ceramic base has been built, which has brought fresh blood to the development of ceramics in Yunchuan City. Now Yunchuan ceramics is no longer only selling floor tiles, but a large-scale ceramic base dominated by high-tech products.
Due to the economic development of the ceramic industry, the GDP of Yunchuan City has also risen rapidly, and Guo Kailai has naturally been promoted from the mayor to the secretary of the municipal party committee. Guo Kailai knew that this was an opportunity brought by a British merchant named Mason, and of course, he also knew that this was also related to Long Dan in Luzhong City. It is Mason's Mason Ceramics Company, as well as half of Longdan's shares. Usually, Guo Kailai just wants to meet Long Dan, because the region is different, Long Dan rarely comes, he has been there a few times and has not seen Long Dan, he knows that Long Dan doesn't care about himself at all, he is the secretary of the provincial party committee, and he can't see the little secretary of his prefecture-level city.
This time Mason came to Luzhong City, due to the report of the national media, Guo Kailai learned about Mason's itinerary for the first time, and he said that he would also meet this Mason, maybe he could also meet Long Dan. Guo Kailai sent his right-hand man to Luzhong City to listen to the news, and sent an invitation letter to Mason, with sincere words, which means that Mason will be a little bit like that if he doesn't go. Mason showed the invitation to Long Dan, and Long Dan said: "Mason, Yunchuan City is inviting you, why are you showing me the invitation?" ”。 Mason said: "Master, they invited me to fake, it's just for the sake of our investment in Yunchuan City, but that ceramic company has half of yours, if you don't go, I will resign this invitation, I'll accompany Master for a few more days."
Long Dan thought about it in a blink of an eye, this Guo Kailai's invitation to Mason is nothing more than to let Mason invest, his own ceramic alloy project needs a large amount of high-purity aluminum, and there is no such factory in Luzhong City, the ceramic alloy project is located in Miaoshan Town, which borders Yunchuan City, if the aluminum factory in Yunchuan City can be accepted, this is undoubtedly a boost to the production of ceramic alloys. If you import aluminum ingots from other places, just the freight will increase a lot of costs, and it is only a dozen kilometers away from the aluminum factory in Yunchuan City to the ceramic alloy production base in Miaoshan Town, which is greatly convenient for production.
Long Dan's heart moved, and he said to Mason: "Mason, I'm fine now, I'll accompany you to Yunchuan City to have a look, there is our factory there after all." Seeing that Long Dan wanted to go, Mason replied to the representative from Yunchuan City without thinking, saying that there was still a little thing to do in Luzhong City, and as long as it was done, he would go to Yunchuan City. Seeing that there was a reply, the representative of Yunchuan City knew that Mason and Long Dan would go to Yunchuan City in a few days, so they went back to reply to Guo Kailai, secretary of the municipal party committee.
When the EU delegation returned, Mason stayed behind and came to the Yunchuan Municipal Party Committee with Long Dan. The Yunchuan Municipal Party Committee has already received a notice, and a group of five major teams are ready at home, and they are already waiting for the big driver in the compound of the Municipal Party Committee. Long Dan and Mason got out of the car in a warm greeting, and the Yunchuan Municipal Party Committee also organized a greeting procession, not only pulling all the people of the Yunchuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to the compound to line up to welcome them, but also organizing hundreds of primary school students to hold colorful flags and shout welcome. Mason was very happy when he saw this situation, Long Dan did frown, and thought: This Guo Kailai is really good at formality, and he even brought elementary school students to welcome him, and he was not afraid that the students' parents would scold him for being a dumb official.
Guo Kailai was in the courtyard of the municipal party committee, and also rolled out the red carpet, waiting for Long Dan to get off the car, after shaking hands one by one, a small welcome ceremony was held, Guo Kailai also spoke, nothing more than the friendship between the two countries, mutual assistance and development, etc., anyway, there are such speeches on the Internet, even if Guo Kailai does not let the secretary draft, he can download hundreds of articles, all of which are the same words, and there is no nutrients at all.
Long Dan and Mason finally waited until the end of the welcome ceremony, and then came to the reception room under the very, very enthusiastic guidance of Guo Kailai. Guo Kailai is worthy of being a Chinese cadre who has been working for many years, and he speaks one by one, and he keeps speaking a few words of English, all of which are full of beautiful words, but Mason likes to listen to this set and listen to Guo Kai talk about it happily.
In the end, Guo Kailai finally confided his meaning, which means that if Mason increases his investment in Yunchuan City, Yunchuan City will give the greatest concessions, one is three years of tax exemption, the other is land gift, and if there is a lack of liquidity, he can also give priority to loans, etc. When Long Dan heard this, he looked down on Guo Kai a little, this is investment promotion, and it is clearly a traitor. One is not to pay taxes, two can be loans, and the third is to give away land, which can only be said to be GDP, Long Dan thought in his heart: This Guo Kai is a GDP cadre, which is the saying "scraping the ground" (GDP).
In fact, Mason's investment in Yunchuan City is dispensable, and it is all based on Long Dan's face. He has a large number of industries in Europe, and he also has a lot of assets for Huaxia, and a little bit of it is enough for a prefecture-level city to attract investment. Therefore, when Mason saw that Guo Kailai wanted to invest again, he was not very interested, and looked at Long Dan with a pair of eyes. Of course, Long Dan knew Mason's thoughts, so he said to Guo Kai: "I understand what Secretary Guo means, do you want Mason to reinvest?" We discussed it when we came, we can invest, but don't have so many discounts in Yunchuan City, although Mason is British, but I am Chinese, and I still have to think about China."
Guo Kailai was happy when he heard it, he tried his best to let Mason invest, as for whether Long Dan would invest or not, he was not very sure, after all, Long Dan was from Luzhong City, and the preferential conditions of Luzhong City would definitely not be lower than what he mentioned, so his hope for Long Dan was not as good as Mason. Now seeing that Long Dan is also going to invest, Guo Kailai is happy in his heart. Long Dan is a top businessman in Huaxia, and if he invests, it will definitely not be a small amount. He happily asked Long Dan: "What industry does Mr. Long plan to invest in, and how much to invest."
Long Dan said: "We want to build a high-precision aluminum factory, the main product is high-purity aluminum ingots, with an annual output of at least 1 million tons, and the investment is estimated to be more than 60 billion, and it may reach 100 billion." As soon as Long Dan's words were finished, Guo Kailai grew his mouth, couldn't close it for a long time, and said after a long time: "Mr. Long, do you mean 600 to 100 billion?" There won't be a fake, right? ”。 Long Dan smiled and said, "Secretary Guo, do you think I look like a liar?" Guo Kailai hurriedly apologized: "Mr. Long, I made a mistake in my mouth, I made a mistake in my mouth, how can a big boss like you joke casually, I lost my words, don't be surprised." Just now you said, why don't you want so many preferential policies in Yunchuan City? ”。
Long Dan said: "Secretary Guo, I am also a businessman, I know that money is not afraid of making more, but I am still a Chinese person, I know that there are some things that cannot be done, you just put forward three preferential conditions for us, I think only one is enough." Guo Kailai was even happier when he heard it, how could there be such a good thing? For example, if you go to the street to buy vegetables, and your connections are one pound per piece, and you bargain for 2 yuan, isn't this a fool? Guo Kailai thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked, "Which preferential conditions does the dragon always want?" ”。 Long Dan said: "As for taxes, you don't have to be exempt from taxes, we can pay taxes as much as we want, and we don't have to pay bank loans, our Long Group and the Mason family are not short of this money; I am a little interested in the piece you said about exempting the land transfer fee, but the amount of land we need is not a small amount, and you Yunchuan side should have a number in mind."
Guo Kailai understood as soon as he heard it, the feelings of this Longdan still have a patriotic complex, now it's okay, as long as it is opened just now, the huge tax will come up, not only the GDP, but the city's financial revenue has been greatly improved, and there is no need to be stretched thin. Guo Kailai saw that Long Dan was so talkative, so he had the courage to say another thing. Guo Kailai said: "Mr. Long, I have a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?" Long Dan said: "Secretary Guo, please tell me, it's not the first time we've met." Guo Kailai said: "Mr. Long, you want to build a large-scale aluminum plant, the production cycle will be one and a half years at the earliest, I don't think you can buy Yunchuan Aluminum Plant, Yunchuan Aluminum Plant is also an old factory, the number of people is nearly 10,000, the technical force is also good, Yunchuan Aluminum Plant covers a huge area, and it is enough for you to use, do you think it will work?" ”。
Long Dan said: "Secretary Guo, your Yunchuan Aluminum Factory is doing well, why do you want us to buy it, isn't there a problem?" ”。 Guo Kailai hurriedly said: "No, no, Yunchuan Aluminum Plant is an old factory, that is, the technology is a little backward, the product grade is a little lower, it is currently in a state of loss, to be honest, it is now also a heavy burden in the city, if you are willing, a qiē is easy to say, as long as you are willing to buy, a qiē conditions are mentioned, we Yunchuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government try to meet, our municipal government has only one condition, that is, you are willing to acquire."
Long Dan's original purpose was to acquire Yunchuan Aluminum Plant, if he built a new factory, there would be many benefits, and he would not have to bear many problems of the old factory, but it was not so easy to build a large factory, and the construction period was very long, which delayed his plan. The ceramic alloy factory to be built by Long Dan in Miaoshan Town, Luzhong City is not complicated, and the cycle will be put into production in more than half a year, and production can be expanded while building a factory. But building a large aluminium plant is much slower, and there are many aspects involved. Long Dan saw that Guo Kailai took the initiative to mention it, so he saved himself from asking, so he said to Guo Kai: "If there is no big problem, you can buy it."
