When Zhou Yuandong was in office, he also organized a Hong Kong investment promotion association, organized a investment promotion group of hundreds of people, and made a huge noise, but in the end it became a collective public-funded tour, spending millions of yuan, and advertising on Hong Kong TV, few businessmen came to participate in the investment promotion, and finally only recruited such a fraudulent subsidiary as Fuhua Group, which then caused an earthquake in Xinghua officialdom, and finally sent Zhou Yuandong himself to prison!

Even Duan Zetao's die-hard supporters, Liu Chunhua, Liu Qian, Fang Lixin, and others also expressed their disapproval of going to Hong Kong to attract investment.

Duan Zetao smiled and said: "Comrades, I understand your worries, but we can't be bitten by a snake once, and we are afraid of the well rope for ten years!" As an international metropolis, Hong Kong is an important international financial, service and shipping center, the world's third largest financial center after New York and London, and also an important window for China's foreign investment. So this time the Hong Kong Merchants Association is a must! ”。

"And our high-tech industrial park has not yet settled in a high-tech enterprise, it is difficult to recruit suitable high-tech enterprises by attracting investment in the mainland, Hong Kong is a famous "world factory", where there are target enterprises and investors we want, so I am not only ready to open a China Merchants Association in Hong Kong, but also ready to set up a Hong Kong Investment Promotion Branch, based in Hong Kong, this branch director I am also ready to recruit in Hong Kong! ……”。

"The reason why our Hong Kong Merchants Association did not succeed last time is because of the lack of adequate preparation, we have a lot of Xinghua villagers settled in Hong Kong, I would like to ask the Civil Affairs Bureau to list our Xinghua settled in Hong Kong, use their connections to help us publicize, and also invite them to come back to our "utopia" to settle, and at the same time ask the government to make a list of well-known enterprises in Hong Kong, when we go to visit one by one, send the invitation of the China Merchants Association, everyone rest assured, I will not take risks without full certainty, We will not joke with the future of our Xinghua, our Hong Kong Merchants Association will definitely be a complete success! ......", Duan Zetao waved his hand unquestionably.

Chu Lian did not experience Xinghua's officialdom earthquake, and he was not very opposed to going to Hong Kong to open a trade promotion association, he had tasted the sweetness from the cooperation with Duan Zetao, and the success of Xinghua's reform of the county and the city undoubtedly wrote a heavy stroke for his political resume, and stood up and supported: "I agree with Secretary Duan's opinion, how can you attract investment without going out, I also have some friends in Hong Kong, and you can ask them to help at that time, and you can also fully mobilize your own connections, unite as one, as long as everyone unites, Working together, nothing is impossible......".

The secretary and the mayor have expressed their positions, and the other members of the Standing Committee will no longer be able to oppose it, and they have initially set an agenda for opening a trade promotion association in Hong Kong, and everyone will go back to mobilize their own contacts, although it may not be able to play any role, at least it can increase popularity.

Duan Zetao took a preparatory group of 20 people to Hong Kong in advance a week before the start of the investment promotion, and Longteng Group organized a huge investment promotion group of 50 people, led by Tong Debo himself.

Because it is not far from Hong Kong, I didn't take a plane, I drove directly over, and I arrived at the border in a few hours, but there was trouble when I went through the customs clearance procedures at the customs gate, Duan Zetao asked Fang Dongmin to ask what was going on, Fang Dongmin came back and said that there was a stamp on the pass that was not very clear, and the border officer who verified it did not let him pass, Duan Zetao had to get out of the car in person, walked over, and saw Liu Shuangxi, who was taking the lead, arguing with a border officer with the rank of captain.

"Comrade, you can be accommodating, even if the seal is a little unclear, but we drove so far away, it is impossible to go back to make up the seal, we are from the Xinghua City Government of Jiangnan Province, and the ...... of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of our city is in the back car."

The captain officer didn't sell it, let out a breath from his nostrils, and said disdainfully: "Cut, why do I think it's a great big man, secretary of the municipal party committee?!" Do you know how many municipal party secretaries pass through our pass every day?! Go! Go! Go aside! Don't get in the way of others! ......", and added the sentence "A hillbilly who has never seen the world!" ”。

Duan Zetao was about to go up and say good things, and let the captain officer let them pass, but when he heard this, he became angry, walked over quickly, and said sternly: "This comrade, what kind of work attitude do you have?!" Why are you insulting our government workers?! ”。

The captain officer was startled, and after seeing that Duan Zetao was just a young man about the same age as him, he pointed at Duan Zetao angrily and scolded angrily: "What are you?!" Do you think this is your little county town?! What is horizontal?! Whoever you are, you have to listen to me when you get here! Believe it or not, I'm going to arrest you?! ”。

As he spoke, he was about to step forward to grab Duan Zetao, but Hu Tielong, who was following Duan Zetao, stepped forward vigorously, grabbed the captain's officer's hand and twisted it hard, the captain's officer howled in pain and exclaimed, "Come on!" Someone rushed to the level! ”。

I saw more than a dozen border guards rushing out of the pass at once, aiming at Duan Zetao and them with guns, and the accompanying staff were frightened, this time the matter is very big!

Duan Zetao took out his mobile phone unhurriedly and dialed the phone of Ye Tianlong, the mayor of Yuezhou City, Ye Tianlong was also surprised to receive Duan Zetao's call, Duan Zetao told what happened, Ye Tianlong said angrily: "These guys, how can they treat comrades from the mainland like this!" He comforted Duan Zetao and said: "Zetao, I'll call you immediately to help you contact their person in charge, you have to exercise restraint, the matter is too big, and it's not good for you......."

Duan Zetao hung up the phone at this time, and said to Hu Tielong, who was still holding the captain's officer's hand: "Tielong, you let him go first!" Hu Tielong let him go, and Duan Zetao said coldly to the captain: "Although the economy of the mainland is not as developed as the Special Economic Zone, this is not a reason for you to insult us, you had better be responsible for your actions!" ”。

The captain officer heard Duan Zetao's phone call just now, it seemed that he had a lot of origin, and from Hu Tielong's action of subduing him just now, it was obvious that he came out of the special forces, but he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, he was also an old oilman, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a captain, knowing that this time he was only afraid of kicking the iron plate, he turned around and waved his hand to the border guard soldiers behind him and said, "It's okay, I'll deal with it here." Only then did the border guards put away their guns and went back to their duties.

The captain officer wanted to give in, but he couldn't pull it off, and was hesitating how to talk to Duan Zetao, when he saw an officer with the rank of colonel running out of the pass, who was his top boss!

Ye Tianlong made a phone call to the commander of the military region, and he only said that his friend had been stopped at the pass, and Ye Tianlong was expected to take over as secretary of the Yuezhou Municipal Party Committee and enter the Standing Committee of the Western Guangdong Provincial Standing Committee in the next term, and his family background was also very amazing.

The commander of the military region's guard didn't know who Duan Zetao was, but Mayor Ye's friend level must not be low, and his words were very harsh, the colonel was scared into a cold sweat, and he didn't know what big people his subordinates had offended, so he put down the phone and hurriedly ran outside.

The colonel first glared at the captain officer, put his feet together, and saluted Duan Zetao first, and didn't know how to call Duan Zetao, so that the commander of the military region could personally greet the chief of the guard must be a big man, but it was a little inappropriate to call the chief, so he had to respectfully say: "This leader, I am not effective in disciplining my subordinates, and I have caused you trouble!" Then he turned to the captain officer and yelled, "Bastard! Don't come and apologize to the leader, MLGB, Lao Tzu will kill you one day! From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to guard the pass, go to the logistics office for Lao Tzu to do hygiene! ”。

The captain officer was scared to death, although he guessed that Duan Zetao had some origins, but he didn't expect that the origin would be so big, even his immediate boss would call him a leader, and he came over to apologize tremblingly, Duan Zetao didn't care about himself, waved his hand and said: "Explain it clearly, it's not wrong for you to stick to your principles, but it's not right to look at people with snobbery, you have to remember that all your actions not only represent yourself, you represent a soldier!" It's the image of the troops! ”。

The colonel and the captain nodded their heads again and again, and the accompanying staff saw that Duan Zetao was so powerful, that even the officers guarding the pass had to salute him respectfully, and they were more and more in awe of Duan Zetao in their hearts, and they also had a little more confidence in the success of the Hong Kong Merchants Association.

After this toss, after passing the pass, it was already night when I arrived in Hong Kong, Hong Kong is worthy of being known as the "Pearl of the Orient" international metropolis, full of neon flashes, high-rise buildings, busy traffic, many of the accompanying staff are the first time to come to Hong Kong, are attracted by the bright night view of the bustling city in front of them, from time to time let out bursts of exclamation and laughter.

Duan Zetao often came to Hong Kong in his previous life, and he had no intention of appreciating this beautiful night scene, his mind was all on the upcoming investment conference, Xinghua is only a county-level city, the platform is still too small, and the influence in Hong Kong can be said to be almost zero, if you only rely on the power of Xinghua, it is impossible to succeed this investment conference.
