Chapter 902: Concessions
After Xu Fan and Wenxi discussed, they decided to unify the actions of the two sides, temporarily stop the negotiations, and release the news of the breakdown of the negotiations to the outside world, so that the outside world will form a favorable public opinion atmosphere for the two companies and increase the pressure on the city government.
After the banquet, Xu Fan and Wen Xi were busy, and after a few phone calls, all kinds of gossip began to spread in Nanxi City, some said that XJ Grain Group and Southeast Asia Grain Group were treated unequally, some said that some people wanted to take these two large grain groups as their own, and some people even said that XJ Grain Group and Southeast Asia Grain Group were ready to give up their investment in Nanxi City, and were ready to choose one of the next few cities to invest.
All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, and for a while, many people think that XJ Grain Group and Southeast Asia Grain Group are really ready to transfer investment, and the initiator Mayor Wang is also under a lot of pressure, and the secretary of the municipal party committee is also watching his jokes, urging him to do his best to finalize the investment negotiations, so as not to let the two big investors leave.
If the project has not started at all, then everyone will not have hope, now the negotiations are almost underway, most of the details have been determined, if nothing else, the agreement can be signed within a few days, but now suddenly there are rumors that two big investors are going to stop investing, which is a big surprise for many people.
The investment of two large grain groups in Qingyun County is not only able to produce huge political achievements, but also many people hope to be able to get a benefit from these two large projects, the construction of the project requires a lot of manpower and materials, many people hope to be able to get a piece of the pie, the total investment of the two projects is more than 2 billion yuan, and most of the projects must be undertaken by local people. If the project does stop, then they will have to watch the money disappear.
Now many people have a grudge against Mayor Wang, and even people within Mayor Wang's family have become disgusted with him. Mayor Wang was also under a lot of pressure, but he was worthy of his heart, and he did this thing very worthy of the country, it can be said that he was selfless, in order to be able to climb to a higher position, he could only grit his teeth and go on, he knew that XJ Food Group and Southeast Asia Food Group had invested a lot of money, and he didn't believe that these two groups would stop this project.
Wang De also didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he called Xu Fan, hoping to get some news from Xu Fan. But Xu Fan and Wen Xi have already discussed, and before the matter is settled, neither of them will express their opinions to the public for the time being, so Xu Fan can only say, "Uncle Wang, I can't say anything about this matter, we can't accept the government's request to take shares, and I will also follow Mr. Wen's actions to decide, if Mr. Wen wants to withdraw his investment." Then I can only withdraw my money! ”
Wang De got this answer, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and after calling Xu Fan, Wang De made another call to Vincy. Wen Xi spoke more toughly, and repeatedly emphasized that the matter of shareholding would definitely not work, and if Wang De insisted on becoming a shareholder, then he could only choose to withdraw his capital. And this time it is not only the project that has been divested, but even the storage center that has been built in Nanxi City may also be abolished.
Wang De was also startled when he heard Vincy's words. If the Southeast Asian grain group is really forced away, then the reputation of Nanxi City will be completely stinky, and if you want to attract foreign investment in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy, Wang De reported the news he got to Mayor Wang, hoping that he can change his mind.
Wang De also did his best, but his proposal was still vetoed by Mayor Wang, Mayor Wang does not believe that XJ Grain Group and Southeast Asia Grain Group will withdraw their investment, the decision of the large group is not to say that it will change, he firmly believes that he will achieve the final victory, Wang De really has no choice about this result, this matter is not for him to decide, he can only sit back and watch.
To say that the relationship between Southeast Asian food groups is still hard, after all kinds of methods have been used and still have no effect, Wen Xi can only use his own foreign identity, although the essence of XJ food group is still the Thai branch of Xu's group, but after all, it is still registered in Thailand, so Wen Xi is more hard to speak.
Vincy and Sima Qi jointly submitted a request to the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, hoping that the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand can come forward to solve this matter, Southeast Asia Grain Group is one of the few multinational companies in Thailand, and Sima Qi is also well-known in Thailand, and the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand also attaches great importance to this matter, so he mentioned this matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping that Southeast Asian Grain Group and XJ Grain Group can be treated fairly.
At this time, Huaxia was suppressed by several Western countries, and did not want to catch fire in their own backyard, so they attached great importance to this matter, and sent a special envoy to Nanxi to coordinate, once the matter was elevated to the relationship between countries, then it would be very sensitive, Mayor Wang did not dare to make any more demands at this time, after the special envoy and his closed-door conversation, Mayor Wang also relented, and no longer bit the condition of shares.
The matter was solved, Xu Fan and Wen Xi were very happy, so they specially invited the envoy, after all, XJ Food Group still has the name of a foreign capital, so Xu Fan is inconvenient to show up, so he asked Sima Qi to come forward Sima Qi and Wen Xi accompanied the envoy for a meal, talked about some things, and expressed their gratitude for the arrival of the envoy.
The envoy gave Sima Qi and Vincy some encouragement, and then left.
After the envoy left, the negotiations were restarted, there were no constraints, the negotiations went very smoothly, and the negotiations were carried out for most of the time, so after two days, the cooperation agreement of the entire project was negotiated, and the XJ Grain Group and the Southeast Asian Grain Group got the same policy support, because of the unified cooperation between the two groups, as well as the attention of the high-level, some private preferential treatment was gone, all in accordance with the national policy, so to speak, XJ Grain Group and Southeast Asia Grain Group still suffered some losses, but compared to being shared, this matter is already insignificant.
On July 1, 2008, it was a sunny day, the large conference room of the Nanxi City Guest House was crowded with people, Sima Qi and Wen Xi sat on both sides of the rostrum on behalf of their respective group companies, and Mayor Wang sat in the middle.
Although Mayor Wang did not meet his requirements, he did not show an unhappy look, after all, it was a happy event, so Mayor Wang also had a warm smile on his face, looking like a loyal elder.
The host of the signing ceremony is the female anchor of Nanxi City TV Station, wearing a cheongsam to expose the female anchor's figure, which has won the favor of many photographers.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the signing ceremony officially began, and the female anchor stepped on high heels from behind a table on the side of the rostrum, walked slowly to the center of the rostrum, and then said, "Distinguished guests, reporters and friends, welcome to the signing ceremony of the cooperation project between XJ Food Group, Southeast Asia Food Group and Nanxi City!" ”
The soft voice of the female anchor kept sounding in the conference room, Xu Fan and Wang De sat on the seat below, Wang De's face was not so good-looking, this opportunity to show his face should have been his, but now he has become a spectator, Wang De deeply felt that his position was not high enough, otherwise there would not be a peach picking.
Xu Fan glanced at Wang De and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, the rostrum is very lively, and our Mayor Wang is also quite photogenic!" Hehe! Does Uncle Wang have any ideas? ”
Wang Decan laughed twice, and he didn't know whether Xu Fan was talking right or back, there were a lot of people in the conference room now, and there were reporters, if he said a few words of criticism, then he might be beaten up and reported, and he was not easy to pick up this topic, so he said, "Mayor Wang has made a great contribution to the development of Nanxi City, and he is about to retire, and I can't compete with him, but does Mr. Xu have any opinions?" Mayor Wang relented this time, it's really rare! ”
Xu Fan smiled faintly, "Mayor Wang? He's a good officer! I hope we can get along well in the future! Uncle Wang, I heard that you are going to be promoted? ”
Wang De nodded smugly, "It's not sure yet, but I want to thank you and Mr. Wen this time, if it weren't for your two projects, I'm afraid that my adjustment this time would have to wait for a while, as long as there is something I need help with in the future, I will definitely do my best!" ”
Xu Fan smiled faintly, glanced at Mayor Wang, who was talking eloquently on the stage, and a trace of disgust rose in his heart, in comparison, Wang De is still relatively easy to get along with, at least he will put forward any requirements directly, so that everyone can be friends and understand clearly, so as not to suspect each other.
"Hehe, I hope I don't need Uncle Wang's help, I don't want to get into trouble!" Xu Fan said with a smile, once he needs Wang De's help, then he will definitely get into trouble again, and it is better to try to minimize this kind of begging for people.
Listening to Xu Fan's words, Wang De smiled dumbly, yes, the Xu Group is developing so big now, I am afraid that there will be more places to rely on Xu Fan in the future, and the things that I can help Xu Fan are also very limited. (To be continued......)
