As soon as the citizens of Ningbo City stepped out of their homes today, the atmosphere on the streets was very different from the past, not only the streets were much cleaner and tidier than before, but there were also many more policemen patrolling, and there were traffic police on duty at almost every intersection, and there were many signs that there seemed to be a big man coming to Ningbo. Sure enough, from 8 o'clock in the morning, many citizens have seen some luxury cars that are usually seen from the road, some are local license plates in Ningbo, which should be government buses, and a few have strange license plates, many people don't know the cars that are not ordinary luxury cars, these cars will drive by the road every once in a while, and they should be back and forth in two places.

At noon, a news spread quickly in the city, the news came from the city government, saying that a wealthy man in Hong Kong had returned to Ningbo to hold a funeral for his ancestors, and tomorrow was the day of the funeral, and today many famous officials, rich people and celebrities in the world have come to Ningbo to prepare for tomorrow's funeral, and the news also mentioned the names of several rich people and celebrities. But it is obvious that even in Ningbo, which is relatively much more open, there are not many people who have heard the names of these rich people and celebrities, and most of them have heard the excitement, you must know that since the reform and opening up, except for the central leadership to come up to inspect, Ning Bo has never had such a lively thing.

Brilliant Hotel, Ningbo Municipal Government investment and construction of the hotel, is also the only four-star hotel in Ningbo, Gu Chen and others live here, in order to welcome the arrival of guests from all walks of life, the hotel has been closed since the 7th, dozens of hotel staff carefully sorted out the inside and outside of the hotel. On the afternoon of the 7th, dozens of flower pots of different colors were also placed at the door of the hotel.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 8th, Gu Chen, He Chaoqiong and other women appeared in the lounge on the first floor of the hotel. At this time, Li Zhaoming, secretary of the municipal party committee, was already waiting in the lounge, and the two sat down after a few words of greeting each other. Some need to be greeted by Gu Chen in person, such as Li Jiacheng and other wealthy people and Canadian Minister of Industry Joseph and other political officials who came in a private capacity.

Over time. When people began to arrive at the hotel, He Chaoqiong and other women went out to greet them as hosts, and Gu Chen basically sat in the lounge and chatted with Li Zhaoming. only got up and walked out of the lounge when he heard that Zhou Yan had arrived, in fact, it was not only Zhou Yan who arrived, Anita Mui, Zhang Guorong, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Manyu, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Li Shu, and even Guo Fucheng, who was filming "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", also came. Apparently they had made an appointment in advance. It is not known whether they arrived on the same flight or whether they would fly directly to Ningbo, or fly to another airport such as Hangzhou and then transfer to Ningbo.

After greeting everyone one by one, Gu Chen looked at the woman who walked at the end, wearing sunglasses on her face and looking very low-key, this woman was none other than Guan Zhilin. She didn't make an appointment with Zhou Yan and them, but just coincidentally bought a ticket for the same flight.

Gu Chen walked over and patted Guan Zhilin's arm. Whispered: "You go back to your room with the hotel staff first, and I'll come up to find you later." ”

Back in the lounge, Gu Chen continued the unfinished topic: "Secretary Li just said that in the past one or two years, Ningbo has introduced many policies to attract investment, but has had little effect, in my opinion, this situation is only temporary, China has a population of 1.2 billion, has the world's largest consumer market, and labor resources are abundant and cheap, and will be the best investment location for labor-intensive enterprises for a long time in the future." The reason why the results have been so little, with all due respect, is that the outside world is not sure about the central government's determination to reform and open up, especially in Europe and the United States, first of all, they are fundamentally different from China in terms of ideology, and they may need to observe for a while to invest in China if they want to rest assured that they will invest in China, but I believe it will not be too long. ”

In Gu Chen's impression, the 90s was the golden period of China's reform and opening up, and in the 80s, because of the fear of policy repetition and some political reasons, the economic development was not very fast, and the attraction of foreign investment was also very limited.

Li Zhaoming sighed and said: "Mr. Gu's words are very reasonable, but the central government has designated Ningbo as a key city for opening up to the outside world and has given a lot of policy support, but Ningbo has not been able to achieve results, and our four leading groups feel very ashamed." ”

Gu Chen couldn't see that Li Zhaoming was deliberately complaining to himself, remembering what he said to the old man the day before yesterday, he was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I have always planned to invest in a large steel company in Da 6, but I have not been able to make up my mind on the location, and now it seems that Ning Bo should be a good choice, there is a natural deep-water port, which is very convenient in terms of importing iron ore." ”

This idea was decided after he talked with Liu Huiyun in the car, and then he asked Tang Dynasty Holding Project Department to start the plan to enter the Australian mineral resources market, you must know that Australia is one of the countries with the richest natural resources in the world, aluminum, lead, iron, gold and other resources are in the forefront of the world, and because of its sparse population, the domestic market can not consume so many resources, so Australia is also in the forefront of the world in the export volume of a variety of natural resources, and many even rank.

Hearing this, Li Zhaoming's eyes lit up, with Gu Chen's strength, what he could call 'large' would definitely not be an ordinary scale, and such a smooth investment made him happy: "On behalf of Mr. Gu's plan, I welcome Mr. Gu's plan on behalf of the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government." As you said, Ningbo has a very good deep-water port, which is very convenient in terms of water transportation, and if the steel company is built in Ningbo, both the import of raw materials and the export of finished products can save a lot of transportation costs. In addition, the municipal government will also give various preferential policies, including tax exemptions and exemptions, etc., and list them as key enterprises supported by the city. ”

Tax reduction and exemption (within three or five years) is a common policy to attract foreign investment in various parts of China under the environment of reform and opening up, Gu Chen listened to it, immediately smiled, and said: "Thank you Secretary Li for your support, but this idea was decided by me recently, and the specific implementation will have to wait until I return to Hong Kong to send someone over." ”

Li Zhaoming hurriedly said: "This is not in a hurry, this is not in a hurry, the current task is to do a good job of sending the old man on his last journey, and it is not too late to discuss the rest slowly." ”

……

Except for eating in the restaurant at lunchtime, Gu Chen stayed in the lounge on the first floor of the hotel almost all day, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, after sending Canadian Minister of Industry Joseph to the elevator, he communicated in advance that the guests who would come to attend tomorrow's funeral had basically arrived.

Gu Chen looked at his watch, and secretly said in his heart that it should be almost there, and Li Zhaoming next to him asked suspiciously: "Mr. Gu has other guests who have not yet arrived?" ”

With the arrival of Joseph, all the dignitaries from various countries who came to attend the funeral in their private capacities on the list given to him by the central authorities have all arrived, and in addition, a group of Hong Kong tycoons such as Fok Yingdong and Li Jiacheng have also arrived as early as the morning, so it can be said that his task has been completed.

"There's also an American friend who should be on his way to the hotel right now." As soon as Gu Chen's words fell, an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door of the hotel, and then George, dressed in casual clothes? Bush got out of the car, and he immediately walked over quickly, smiling and spreading his arms with a smile on his face. Bush hugged him heavily: "George, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come." ”

Now that the new presidential election in the United States has begun, Vice President George? Herbert? Walker? Bush was identified as the Republican candidate, and a series of activities were to be carried out before the voting officially began. Because as one of his son's closest supporters of Bush Sr.'s presidential campaign, Bush Jr.'s ability to fly thousands of miles to China to attend the funeral at this time can be called a time out of his busy schedule.

After Bush Jr. smiled slightly, his smile gradually faded, and he said with a slightly solemn face: "If I don't come, my heart will feel uneasy, I feel very sad about what happened to your relatives, I hope you can mourn, I believe they will rest in peace in the arms of God." ”

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your blessings, and I also believe that they will go all the way." After a pause, he leaned to the side slightly, pointed at Li Zhaoming and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li Zhaoming, secretary of the municipal party committee of Ningbo City." ”

"Secretary Li, this is George of the Bush family in the United States? Walker? Bush. ”

Bush Jr. shook hands with Li Zhaoming, and only heard Li Zhaoming say: "Mr. Bush is very welcome to Ningbo." After he finished speaking, the interpreter standing next to him immediately translated the words, and in order to welcome dignitaries from all over the world, he specially brought the translator over today.

"I'm also honored to be here in Nimbo, which is a beautiful place." Bush Jr. said with a smile, obviously this was just a polite remark, and I don't know if Li Zhaoming really didn't hear it, or if he didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. for the compliment, please come inside." ”

When Li Zhaoming turned around, Bush Jr. shrugged his shoulders slightly towards Gu Chen, and his face showed a trace of helplessness. Gu Chen could read what he meant, and replied with an equally helpless expression. (To be continued......)
