――――――――――――――――――――――――

The arrival of Xueyu made Lu Zhengdong feel very happy, and the personnel of the city government thought that Mayor Lu's wife had come, and the mayor estimated that it would be "not early" in the past two days, after all, it was still a young couple, and it must be very hot, but to their surprise, Lu Zhengdong not only did not have any fatigue, but he seemed to be more energetic at work than before, which made a group of people secretly surprised......

Lu Zhengdong naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to the gossip of these people, An Junyi and other personnel who fought at the front station had already set off, and the departure of the large army of the investment promotion group had already entered the countdown, and the details determined success or failure, Lu Zhengdong naturally could not take it lightly.

Lu Zhengdong is most worried about the cadres making a fool of themselves in Hong Kong, many of the people in the delegation have no experience in foreign affairs, and they are a little arrogant in talking and doing things, and Hong Kong's media industry is very developed, and the paparazzi are almost pervasive, especially for mainland officials, who often have some prejudices, and they like to report their negative news the most.

Yang Tiejun, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Tang Zhongkai, deputy mayor in charge of foreign affairs, Yu Dajun, deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and director of the Municipal Supervision Bureau, and other cadres attended the meeting.

At the meeting, Lu Zhengdong asked the cadres participating in the investment promotion group to have three demands and four don'ts:

"We must have an open consciousness, have a warm attitude, and be able to reflect the essence of the cadres and show the demeanor of our cadres, but we should not talk about it. Don't look at what you shouldn't. Don't do what you shouldn't do. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a few copies of the newspaper. Road:

"In the era of the eyeball economy, the more negative the news, the more attention it will receive than ever before, and it is not too much to call it scandal economics, so we must warn comrades to check it.

Don't think that after Hong Kong's return, some people think that if something happens, people will have scruples, and they will show mercy and not report it, that's a big mistake, don't forget it. Hong Kong is one country, two systems, news reports have their own judgments, and reports by mainland officials will not be polite. ”

This is a negative report that Lu Zhengdong specially collected about some domestic officials visiting Hong Kong and Macao.

After circulating, everyone nodded again and again, and Yang Tiejun also nodded and said:

"Mayor Zhengdong is very thoughtful, looking at those cadres who have problems, it is estimated that they are usually inappropriate in their work style in the mainland. In places like Hong Kong, the old state of mind germinates, and the impact of this problem is not only domestic. This is indeed something that should be taken seriously, and it is indeed necessary to strengthen work in this regard. ”

Everyone smiled and nodded.

Lu Zhengdong also had a basic understanding of Yang Tiejun when the Commission for Discipline Inspection investigated An Junyi: Yang Tiejun has a good character and stresses principles in major matters, and Lu Zhengdong also has a good impression of him, and said with a smile:

"Secretary Tiejun is an old discipline inspector, so he has to check the investment promotion group."

Yang Tiejun waved his hand and said:

"Mayor Zhengdong has taken precautions and has thought about it very thoughtfully, I will just say one word, strengthen discipline, the revolution is invincible, I wish the investment promotion group a full return......

Everyone nodded, and the matter was settled.

Lu Zhengdong turned his head to Tang Zhongkai and said:

"Mayor Zhongkai, you have to prepare well for the precautions of foreign affairs activities, and you must implement them."

"The Foreign Affairs Office has drawn up a detailed rule on this matter, which will be distributed to each member of the group before departure, and relevant study ...... will be organized."

Tang Zhongkai gave a very specific introduction to this aspect.

Tang Zhongkai has been very energetic recently, and after Lu Zhengdong took office, he repeatedly emphasized the importance of attracting investment. And a series of texts were introduced. Tang Zhongkai's status has improved a lot. Although Lu Zhengdong is not because of personal feelings. It's not to win over Tang Zhongkai.

But no matter what, under the leadership of Lu Zhengdong, Tang Zhongkai has a sense of being valued, he is very handy and comfortable in carrying out his work, and everyone has selfish intentions, so he will naturally have a good impression of Lu Zhengdong and will be willing to take the initiative to carry out his work......

After all the preparations were made, Lu Zhengdong, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and acting mayor, led a delegation of the municipal government to Hong Kong to fly to Hong Kong in batches, and carried more than 60 investment promotion projects to the special investment promotion activity.

After Lu Zhengdong settled in the hotel, government secretary general An Junyi reported on the reception to be held in Hong Kong, the main targets of the reception, and the self-arranged activities applied for by the following districts and counties in the delegation.

"Mayor, there are a lot of people invited to the cocktail party, so the venue is very well prepared, but after the invitation is sent out, I don't know if these people will really be invited to participate, and you have to make preparations with both hands, otherwise the venue is too big and there are not many guests, and it will look empty."

After An Junyi arrived in Hong Kong, he found that Mayor Lu's appetite was beyond his imagination, and the business people invited included, in addition to several major consortia that were familiar to the Chinese people, almost all of Hong Kong's relatively well-known enterprises.

Lu Zhengdong tasted the tea and was noncommittal, but he didn't answer his words, but said:

"Did the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government reply to the visit to the Financial Secretary and the Department of Industry and Trade of the SAR Government?"

As an agency of the Central Government in Hong Kong, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government is an important channel for extensive contacts with all sectors in Hong Kong and an important bridge for promoting exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and the Mainland. Not only that, whether it is the Mainland departments and officials coming to Hong Kong for exchanges, or the SAR government departments and officials visiting the Mainland, the "Liaison Office of the Central People's Government" will help to contact and arrange more matters.

An Junyi smiled and said:

"Talking back, hehe, the Hong Kong government really doesn't have a yamen style, they said that they welcome Mayor Lu's arrival, and the staff of these government departments are indeed concise, efficient, and have benefited a lot."

An Junyi said it very tactfully, but in fact, it was not as difficult to enter as many departments in the mainland as it was difficult to enter and had an ugly face, Lu Zhengdong smiled faintly. It is true that the government agencies of the Hong Kong government are different from those in the mainland. But he is so enthusiastic about An Junyi and others. It was because of his last trip to Hong Kong.

After Lu Zhengdong arrived in Hong Kong, Anxin's work of attracting investment in Hong Kong was carried out more intensively, and after several days of promotion and contact, it finally ushered in the time to hold a cocktail party.

The reason why the Anxin investment promotion group attaches so much importance to the cocktail party is because whether the work of the past few days is effective, and what kind of gains there are in the investment promotion this time will be preliminarily confirmed at the cocktail party, and only at the cocktail party. A formal agreement of intent will be signed at the signing ceremony......

――――――――――――――

As night fell, all kinds of gorgeous decorative lights were lit up, eclipsing the starry sky, and the special reception venue was brilliantly lit. At this moment, under the playing of the band, elegant and soothing drifting in every corner.

Lu Zhengdong and several leaders of the investment promotion group greeted the guests at the door, Tang Zhongkai was a little apprehensive, less than half an hour before the start of the reception, and only three or three guests arrived, and there were even fewer reporters present. The investment promotion activities of a sub-provincial city really did not arouse any interest from the media, and the reporters present were also several financial reporters. It is estimated that tomorrow's newspaper will be a tofu block news.

Tang Zhongkai glanced at the delegation staff at the reception, although they were all in good spirits according to the requirements, they were actually more or less affected by this......

But as the time approached, the guests began to denser, and the tonnage became larger and larger, Mr. Wang, President of Hong Kong Xinshi Group, Mr. Wu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shifa Group, Mr. Shen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jinli Group, and of course, Mr. Zeng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tongda Group, an old friend of Lu Zhengdong......

But this is only the beginning, followed by Mr. Yuen, President of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce/Mr. Lee, Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology of the Hong Kong Government, Mr. On the Financial Secretary, Mr. Kwok, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Consortium Keihong Group, and Mr. Li, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Yellow River Group.

Absolutely shocking!

The top and bottom of the Anxin investment group were shocked.

Not to mention the presence of senior officials of the Hong Kong government, it is these heavyweight business people who are present at the meeting, they are all influential figures in the business community, and they are all received by the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of the province in the mainland, but now they are gathered at the Anxin cocktail party!

Tang Zhongkai and You Jinzhong couldn't help but look at each other - they originally thought that it would be good for these large enterprises to send a slightly decent representative, but fortunately, Mayor Lu and the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government were in good contact, and there were people from the Liaison Office of the Central Committee to help, otherwise even how to arrange the seats would be enough for the Anxin Investment Promotion Group to be in a hurry for a while.

And the shock of the two of them was not over, because an official from the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government hurriedly came over and whispered:

"The chief executive is coming to the reception soon, and Director Lin will accompany him."

As a special person to participate in such an activity of the mainland government, his level as mayor is a little lower, and Director Lin naturally wants to accompany him.

It's just that Lu Zhengdong was also a little surprised, senior officials from the Financial Secretary and the Bureau of Industry and Commerce and Science and Technology came to cheer on him, and he knew very well the reason, it was the fighting friendship formed by international speculators last year; He also knows the reason why the bigwigs in the business world came to cheer, because last year and this year they successfully blocked international speculators, and their losses were reduced by tens of billions and billions.

Although his involvement in the fight against international speculators has never been reported in the newspapers, these people have a close relationship with the central government and the Hong Kong government, and they also know that reducing more losses is actually equivalent to making so much money.

However, Lu Zhengdong really did not expect the chief executive to come, and the arrival of these heavyweight business tycoons, especially the chief executive, made a very ordinary drinking party quickly elevate to the most important event for Hong Kong celebrities since the Asian economic and financial crisis......

"The guests attending today's reception are Mr. Yin Huaren, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Mr. Lin Zhichong, Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government...... Mr. Lu Zhengdong, Acting Mayor of Anxin City! ”

Probably no one would have thought that this reception would be upgraded to such a high standard, and the voice of An Junyi, who presided over tonight's cocktail party for a long time, trembled a little.

After An Junyi's slightly trembling introduction, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.

Lu Zhengdong had a friendly smile on his face, maybe only in Hong Kong can he experience this way of attending, if it is a domestic drinking party, it is impossible to be so "unstrict".

The lamppost is dazzling, as if attending some celebrity event, but again, follow the local customs. Myself in Hong Kong. It can be said that Cheng dΓΉ represents the image of domestic officials and even leading cadres. Enlightened and more modern, Lu Zhengdong hopes to leave an impression on all Hong Kong government officials and business people.

Next, Lu Zhengdong must have delivered a speech as the host, and Lu Zhengdong spoke openly and honestly after the usual warm welcome to the distinguished guests:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Since China's reform and opening up, China's economy has continued to grow rapidly, and to a large extent, relying on the expansion of the export-oriented economy, the coastal areas close to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have taken the lead.

At present, compared with coastal cities, the pace of opening up to the outside world is not fast enough. The development is relatively backward, especially the development of the private economy is not enough, and the software and hardware environment still needs to be vigorously built, because of these gaps, we have a sense of urgency, we must pay more, do better to catch up. ”

Lu Zhengdong did not shy away from Anxin's current situation, and of course he would not fail to talk about Anxin's advantages:

"As a megacity in central China, Anxin is endowed with unique natural and cultural resources. There are more than 100 kinds of minerals that have been discovered, and the amount of water energy resources technology that can be developed is huge, because of the water resources. Energy costs are much lower compared to the coast, compared to the Pujiang River. Not a third of it. The prices of water, electricity and land are relatively low. In terms of transportation and geographical location, connecting the east and west, connecting the south and the north, attracting all sides, radiating all directions, etc., it has unique advantages and rich resources in terms of talents, providing characteristic advantageous resources for the rise of the city circle with Anxin as the center, and convenient transportation, industrial base and science and education advantages have increasingly become prominent comprehensive advantages, and what we Anxin has to do is to further create a soft and hard investment environment, win more investors, and attract investment in Hong Kong, which is to use the platform of Hong Kong to promote Anxin more and let more people know the advantages of Anxin, I hope everyone will come to take a look and invest in ......" Lu Zhengdong did not shy away from the current situation of Anxin, and of course he would not fail to talk about Anxin's advantages:

"As a megacity in central China, Anxin is endowed with unique natural and cultural resources. There are more than 100 kinds of minerals that have been discovered, and the amount of water energy resources technology can be developed is huge, because of the water resources, the energy cost is much lower than that of the coast, and compared with the Pujiang River, it is less than one-third. The prices of water, electricity and land are relatively low. In terms of transportation and geographical location, connecting the east and west, connecting the south and the north, attracting all sides, radiating all directions, etc., it has unique advantages and rich resources in terms of talents, providing characteristic advantageous resources for the rise of the city circle with Anxin as the center, and convenient transportation, industrial base and science and education advantages have increasingly become prominent comprehensive advantages, and what we Anxin has to do is to further create a soft and hard investment environment, win more investors, and attract investment in Hong Kong, which is to use the platform of Hong Kong to promote Anxin more and let more people know the advantages of Anxin, I hope everyone will come and take a look and invest in ......"

Lu Zhengdong's speech was very pertinent and extremely sincere, and sometimes when his tongue is in vogue, sincerity is easier for people to accept and trust......

After Lu Zhengdong finished his speech, he walked around the venue and talked with everyone, and when he walked to a group of young entrepreneurs, a young entrepreneur said:

"Mayor Lu, I am Yang Zhifeng of the Young Entrepreneurs Association, a company like ours is in the period of expansion, and in view of the impact of the Asian financial crisis, it is also urgent to expand to the mainland, and the officials of Anxin are very sincere and enthusiastic. This point, from the contact with them, I feel very deeply, but for Anxin's understanding, at present, it is only the introduction and relevant information of the investment promotion personnel. We are all authentic small characters, and I am afraid that we will not be able to enjoy the preferential treatment of those big enterprises, so we have to be cautious in investment......"

Lu Zhengdong said with a smile:

"I can understand everyone, investment caution is a business leader must be a must-have, in fact, many successful people in the business community here today, they are mostly self-made, at that time they were also small characters, but today they have achieved great success, what is small, what is big, I think as long as you have a dream, is to have the future, and as long as you are down-to-earth, you can always open up a world, there is also the possibility of success, sit and talk about the road, do not enter the body lΓ¬ line, to say small characters, Anxin compared with other big cities, The same is the small characters, on behalf of Anxin City, I welcome everyone to Anxin to take a look, Anxin is willing to witness everyone's growth, we small characters together to create the future! ”

When this group of young entrepreneurs heard Lu Zhengdong's words, they couldn't help chewing the taste of the words, nodding their heads frequently, obviously speaking to their hearts......

Qiu Fengqi, director of the Foreign Affairs Office of Anxin City, looked at Lu Zhengdong, who was talking and laughing freely, and sighed in his heart, he was on a roller coaster today, and when he began to see the guests, he felt a little uncomfortable for Anxin, and at the same time inevitably gloated, thinking that he would have to be idle later, and quickly called Secretary Zhong to report the situation.

But what happened next made him completely unbelievable, even if the secretary of the provincial party committee came, the chief executive would definitely meet politely, but I am afraid that there would not be so many heavyweight business people in attendance.

Qiu Fengqi didn't understand how Lu Zhengdong did it, even if Lu Zhengdong was rumored to be a child of the Yun family in the capital, it was difficult to have this energy, as he had been engaged in foreign affairs for a long time, he knew very well that he was very particular about the principle of reciprocity in such activities.

Only then did he know that this young man really had too many secrets that people like him could know, and people like him were elusive, so that some weapons of officialdom that seemed to be available would lose their effectiveness on him. (To be continued.) )
