Lu Jing got out of the car with an umbrella. The raindrops hit the umbrella unhurriedly.

There was some water on the cement road at the highway intersection, and Lu Jing's leather shoes quickly got wet. At the front of the welcoming crowd, a handsome and elegant man of nearly fifty years old walked over with a smile, "Mr. Lu, hello." I am Liu Wei, deputy mayor of Pennsylvania, and welcome you to Pennsylvania. ”

"Mayor Liu, hello. It's hard to trouble you to pick me up in such a heavy rain. "Lu Jing has already read the information before coming to Pennsylvania. Liu Wei is the executive vice mayor of Pennsylvania. The number two of the city government.

Liu Wei politely exchanged a few words with Lu Jing, and invited Lu Jing to Binjiang Hotel, the hospitality unit of the Binzhou Municipal Government.

Soon, a convoy of cars formed a convoy from the Xiangbin Expressway intersection to the hazy outline of the city in the rain in a smooth and orderly manner.

In the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz car, Xu Yongbi saw Lu Jing's restless movements with a slight frown, and asked, "Lu Jing, why did you get out of the car just now?" Just said a few words, hehe, I thought you would shake hands one by one like the leaders on TV. Isn't it hard to have wet feet now? ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "If I am really the leader of the Pennsylvania cadres, of course I can not get off." The problem is that I'm just here to invest. If you don't get out of the car, it will be a reputation for going out. Comparatively speaking, getting your feet wet is a trivial matter. Oh, Yongbi, do you think Mayor Liu looks a little familiar? ”

He informed Pennsylvania in the form of an official letter that he would come to Pennsylvania today to inspect the investment environment. With the status of Jinghua Company, it is reciprocal and in line with the practice that Pennsylvania will send an executive vice mayor to greet it.

Otherwise, he came to Pennsylvania privately as Lu Jing. It was normal for He Chen to come over to greet him.

Xu Yongbi said with a smile: "You're not making fun of me, are you?" ”

Lu Jing was inexplicable, looking at Xu Yongbi's delicate face in surprise. "What are you teased about?" ”

Xu Yongbi said: "Do you still have an impression of my classmate Liu Jiwei in the Academy of Fine Arts?" This Mayor Liu should be his father. ”

Lu Jing suddenly remembered the intersection with Liu Jiwei in Jiangzhou a few years ago. It seems that Liu Jiwei chased Xu Yongbi for several years without success. Doesn't Liu Jiwei mean that his father is the executive vice mayor of Pennsylvania? Father and son look very similar. No wonder Xu Yongbi said so.

Lu Jing's heart moved. Smiled: "A little impressed." So, this Liu Gongzi worked in Pennsylvania after graduation? ”

Xu Yongbi showed a distressed look and said, "Yes." He worked for a state-owned enterprise in Pennsylvania. That's why I'm going to come to Pennsylvania with you, or I'll have to be harassed to death by him." Pennsylvania has such a great view. I've wanted to sketch in Pennsylvania for a long time. ”

Lu Jing laughed. It seems that Liu Jiwei, the second generation of officials, can't get into Xu Yongbi's eyes.

…

…

Binjiang Hotel is the only four-star standard hotel in Penn City. In addition to entertaining guests of the city hall, it is also open to the public.

When the convoy arrived at the hotel, it was already about one o'clock in the afternoon. Mayor Liu arranged for Lu Jing and his party to dine. After eating, Mayor Liu and Lu Jing agreed to visit Secretary He and Mayor Qian, the two leaders of Pennsylvania City, tomorrow morning, and then said goodbye and left.

Inside the luxury suite on the eighth floor of the Binjiang Hotel. Looking at the non-stop rain outside the window, Lu Jing frowned slightly, took a slow puff of cigarette, and asked Ding Ling and Jiang Qiguang, who were sitting on the sofa in the living room behind him, "What do you think?" ”

"Jing Shao, Mayor Liu doesn't seem to welcome us too much." Jiang Qiguang cautiously used a "seem" to comment on Liu Wei's series of actions. As a senior investment advisor at Jinghua Company, he has a lot of contact with local officials. The mayor of Pennsylvania, Mr. Liu, is only superficially enthusiastic. Otherwise, he should have offered to arrange dinner today.

Lu Jing nodded, sighed, and said, "It seems." The situation in Pennsylvania is even more dire than I thought. "Obviously, He Chen has no influence on the Pennsylvania municipal government. So, they're getting the cold shoulder in Pennsylvania right now.

Ding Ling bit his lip lightly and said, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Lu Jing pondered for a moment. said: "I'll listen to what He Luyao and Hu Wenzhuo have to say." Find out what Pennsylvania is going to do before you decide what to do next. Xiaoling, inform everyone that they are free in the afternoon. After a morning in the car, everyone was tired. ”

Ding Ling said: "Oh, it's so good. ”

Lu Jing and his entourage came to Pennsylvania. Hu Wenhuan, who is in charge of tourism development in Pennsylvania, was of course notified. It's just that Jinghua sent an official letter to the Pennsylvania municipal government. You need to deal with the Pennsylvania municipal government first. That's why he didn't go to greet him.

However, what Lu Jing waited for first was He Luyao's call. He Luyao had been waiting for the landing scene to arrive in Pennsylvania for a long time. His official news is naturally better than Hu Wenxuan's. Liu Weicai, executive vice mayor of Binzhou City, left the Binjiang Hotel for half an hour. So he called.

"Jing Shao, have you arrived? If you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, I'll invite you to drink. He Luyao laughed on the phone.

Lu Jing looked at his watch and smiled, "Okay." You say place. ”

He Luyao smiled and said, "I said that you don't know the way of the place." I'm right outside the Binjiang Hotel. ”

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Okay." I'll be down in a moment. ”

In fact, the first person Lu Jing should have met when he came to Pennsylvania was He Chen, secretary of the Pennsylvania Municipal Party Committee. It's just that it's more appropriate to meet in private after the formal meeting. However, he naturally didn't pay much attention to meeting He Luyao. He Luyao came so quickly, it seems that the situation in Pennsylvania is indeed very unfavorable to He Chen. He Chen couldn't sit still.

The relationship between Lu Jing and He Luyao is not bad, and after meeting and laughing a few words, He Luyao left from the bustling Binjiang Hotel in an inconspicuous black Nissan car.

Fifteen minutes later, in a luxury KTV box, He Luyao gave Lu Jing a cigarette and said with a smile: "Jing Shao, it's a little simpler." This is the best KTV in Pennsylvania. When I first came to Pennsylvania, I felt that it was at least a decade behind Jiangzhou. ”

Lu Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that exaggerated. However, Pennsylvania's economic development is lagging behind. Isn't the province now engaged in the western economic development group of Chubei Province? Take it easy. Pennsylvania still has to condense its internal strength first. ”

That's a bit thorough.

He Luyao scratched his head. Although he helped Li Xinhan manage the Dynasty Club in Jiangzhou under the recommendation of Lu Jing, he became prosperous in Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou He Shao is famous. But when it comes to talking about politics, his brain is a little inadequate. Not to mention. He came over today, but in fact, his father didn't explain anything. Just let him come to see Lu Jing.

He Luyao smiled bitterly: "Jing Shao, my dad basically doesn't talk to me about the situation in Pennsylvania. You're going to blind me. I knew that Qian Gaoyang, the mayor of Pennsylvania, and my dad didn't deal with each other. My dad can't compete for him in the right to speak in tourism development. ”

Lu Jing said in surprise: "Mayor Qian only arrived at the beginning of this year, right?" "Say so. Qian Gaoyang's ability is extremely outstanding.

He Luyao nodded with a sigh, "Yes." ”

Penzhou's strategy for revitalizing the city through tourism has long been decided. The right to speak in tourism development also means the right to speak in Pennsylvania. Lu Jing pondered for a while and said, "What does Secretary He think about the prospect of Ruifeng Tourism increasing investment in Pennsylvania?" ”

He Luyao spread his hand and said, "I don't know what to do." He didn't dare to answer that.

Lu Jing was a little helpless, smoked a cigarette and pondered for a long time, and said, "I understand." It seems that He Chen just wants to use He Luyao's mouth today to show that he is in a weak position in Pennsylvania. These words, He Chen estimated that it would be difficult to say them in front of him.

The substantive situation will not be clear until I see He Chen tomorrow.

He Luyao couldn't figure out what dumb riddles his father and Lu Jing were playing, and seeing that Lu Jing didn't ask these questions again, he instead chatted with him about interesting things in Pennsylvania. also chatted with Lu Jing while drinking. In the evening, He Luyao said goodbye and went home to report to his father about the meeting with Lu Jing today.

In the living room of Villa No. 1 of the Standing Committee of the Pennsylvania Municipal Party Committee, He Chen sat on the sofa drinking tea, listened carefully to his son's words, and said with a smile: "Well, it's done well." ”

He Luyao looked dazed and asked, "Dad, that's it?" Lu Jing said he understood. But I didn't get it. ”

He Chen sighed in his heart, his son is really not the material of the officialdom, and said with a straight face: "If you don't understand, think for yourself." Dine! ”

He Luyao stood up depressedly, he didn't even understand why his father had a straight face.

…

…

Just when He Luyao was talking to He Chen. Lu Jing, Ding Ling, Jiang Qiguang, and Hu Wenwei chatted while eating in the private room of the canteen of Ruifeng Tourism Penn Branch.

When Hu Wenwei called Lu Jing in the afternoon, Lu Jing was chatting with He Luyao in Lottie KTV. Therefore, the meeting was scheduled for the evening. Hu Wenzhuo hosted a banquet in the canteen of the branch for Jinghua and his entourage.

Ruifeng entered Pennsylvania early for development. It's just that the previous investment grade was only 10 million. Moreover, it is a cooperation with Lifeng Real Estate, and the scale is not large compared to Yunchun and Jianye.

Of course. Ruifeng Tourism and Lifeng Real Estate have a lot of staff in Pennsylvania. Therefore, there are office buildings, dormitories and canteens in the north of Penzhou City. The canteen of Ruifeng Tourism Penn Branch is on the third floor of the annex building behind the office building.

Lu Jing smiled and pointed to the sumptuous dishes on the table. said: "Chicken, duck and fish, you have done a good job in Pennsylvania." ”

"It's because it's cheap here in Pennsylvania." Hu Wenjun smiled proudly and said, "Tell the truth." The quality of our canteen is higher than that of the hotel outside. Jing Shao, or you live in the company. There are a lot of people in Binjiang Hotel. ”

Lu Jing waved his hand, "Let's talk about it in a few days." Jiang Qiguang: They can come and live. What about Pennsylvania? Secretary He doesn't seem to be able to be a family. Is it still necessary for Ruifeng Tourism to increase investment? ”

Hu Wenzhuo pondered for a while, organized the language, and said, "Jing Shao, the situation is like this. After Mayor Qian arrived, he gave up his cooperation with us and instead introduced Haiyi Tourism under the name of Haiyi Group. My report to the company that I want to increase investment in Pennsylvania is for the Ziyun Mountain tourism project..."

Lu Jing rubbed his eyebrows lightly with his fingers, recalled the information of Ruifeng Tourism's investment in Pennsylvania for a while, and interjected: "I remember that the Ziyun Mountain tourism project was not taken down by Ruifeng Tourism?" ”

Hu Wenwei explained: "Ruifeng Tourism won the northern foothills of Ziyun Mountain, which was developed in the early stage, not far from the city. The tourism resources are limited, and the main focus is on commercial real estate and the model of tourist towns. Ziyun Mountain straddles the territory of Pennsylvania, and what is now called tourism is divided into eastern and western sections. The province is building a direct highway from Jiangzhou to Pennsylvania, which will be 2 hours away from Jiangzhou to Pennsylvania, and there is no need to spend an extra hour on the detour from Xiangshui. Therefore, the eastern section of Ziyun Mountain has the best economic benefits. What we are talking about now is the Ziyun Mountain tourism project, which refers to the eastern section of Ziyun Mountain. This development project, which is expected to invest 800 million yuan, will lead the economic development of the entire Pennsylvania within ten years, whether we or Haiyi Tourism take it. ”

Ding Ling pulled the short hair around his ears and said, "So, Secretary He Chen asked us to win this project, right?" ”

Hu Wenzhun nodded, "Yes." This is actually a dispute between Secretary He and Mayor Qian. (To be continued......)
