At 9:30 a.m. on the second day, the bidding meeting officially began.

Investors from all over the country gathered in the conference hall of the Triumph Hotel, and seven bid evaluation experts from the expert pool of Beiming City sat in the seats of the bid evaluation committee, with a mountain of bids in front of them.

All tenders are divided into technical and commercial bids.

The commercial bid is mainly the bidding company to put forward the bidding conditions, such as how much to invest, how much profit to be handed over to Jingkou County every year, and how to solve various problems that Jingkou Port employees are concerned about.

The technical standard part mainly focuses on port operation, and elaborates on the relevant concepts of port operation.

This time, the commercial standard part accounts for 80%, and the technical standard part accounts for 20%.

When Liu Haotian walked into the bidding hall with Wang Jucai, he found that their seats were located between the two seats of Robinson Port Transportation Group of the United States and Kameda Port Transportation Group of Neon Country.

Liu Haotian smiled, didn't say anything, and walked towards his seat.

I happened to meet Fan Liquan, the executive deputy county magistrate of Jingkou County, and Zhao Hongzhe, the county magistrate, and the two of them were chatting with Danielson, the vice president of Robinson Port Transportation Group in Asia, who spoke Mandarin very well, so there was no barrier to communication between them.

Seeing Liu Haotian and them coming, Zhao Hongzhe just glanced at him coldly, didn't mean to pay attention to Liu Haotian at all, and continued to communicate with Danielson again.

At this moment, Zhao Hongzhe's dissatisfaction with Liu Haotian has reached its peak, if it weren't for Liao Haotian, their Jingkou Port project would not be as troublesome as today, and now I'm afraid that Jingkou Port has been operated by the Robinson Port Group. But it is because of Liu Haotian's intervention that Jingkou County is now in a 10-point passive position, and the project of Jingkou Port is subject to public bidding, and it is regarded as directly intervening in this matter, although Jingkou County has not been completely kicked out of this public bidding, but the right to speak has been reduced to a very low level.

Executive deputy county magistrate Fan Liquan saw that Zhao Hongzhe ignored Liu Haotian, he smiled and said hello to Liu Haotian, and then didn't say anything more.

Liu Haotian pursed his lips and walked straight to his seat.

At this moment, there is still half an hour before the official opening of the bid, so there is some chaos in the bidding hall, some people are chatting, and some people are socializing.

At this moment, a media reporter came to Liu Haotian with a microphone in his hand, and the photographer had already pointed the camera at Liu Haotian, and the media reporter looked at Liu Haotian with a smile and said: "County Magistrate Liu, we are American C."

Alice, a reporter from M TV station, now I would like to ask you a few questions on behalf of many Americans who are concerned about the Jingkou Port project, I wonder if you dare to answer them?"

This is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl who speaks Mandarin very standardly, but her words are full of pitfalls.

Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Ms. Alice, if you want to interview, I can accept it, but I hope you will restrain your American-style interview method, talk well if you want to speak, and don't set so many traps inside and outside the words, otherwise, please go and interview others." ”

Alice didn't expect that Liu Haotian would expose him directly, and he didn't show any so-called subtlety and face-saving that are unique to Chinese officials.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then nodded: " Okay, then when it is broadcast, I will pinch out this paragraph, County Magistrate Liu, I want to ask, as the county magistrate of Baining County, why do you want to participate in the operation of ports in other counties, and as far as I know, if it weren't for you stirring up the wind and rain, Jingkou County has signed a formal cooperation agreement with Robinson Changyun Group, it can be said that it is precisely because of your intervention that there have been such major changes in the operation of this port, do you have any prejudices against foreign businessmen?"

Alice's words sound understated, but Liu Haotian can feel the many traps in Alice's words, as long as there is a question that is not answered well, Liu Haotian will be in a predicament, and even be crusaded by public opinion.

This is also the reason why many people are reluctant to be interviewed by foreign journalists.

Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "It seems that Ms. Alice still has prejudices against us Chinese."

First of all, there is no legal provision that we in Baining County cannot participate in the competition for the operation right of Jingkou Port, this is a fair and just competition, as long as the legal procedures are met, we can participate, there is no problem, right?"

Alice could only nod.

Liu Haotian continued: "As for what you said about stirring up the wind and rain, I don't think so, because at the beginning, we in Baining County just held a press conference to express our willingness to compete fairly for the right to operate the port. So, Ms. Alice, are you wrong for us to do our own thing?"

Alice was temporarily speechless by Liu Haotian's question, but she immediately retorted: "County Magistrate Liu, you are quibbling, because if it weren't for you, Jingkou County would have signed a cooperation agreement with Robinson Port and India Group, and you are equivalent to a-stirring stick, aren't you?"

Liu Haotian smiled: "Ms. Alice, why don't you ask these investors who came to participate in the bidding, can you see what everyone's opinions are, and do you want to get a fair and just competitive environment?"

Alice was speechless, because he knew that even if he interviewed the workers on the site, everyone would definitely support Liu Haotian's opinion, because they were all the beneficiaries of Liu Haotian's troubles, and without Liu Haotian, they would not have been able to get such a fair and just opportunity to compete.

Liu Haotian saw Alice's ugly face, just smiled slightly, and then said: "Ms. Alice, just now you criticized me and said that I have prejudices about foreign investment, I think your question is with a strong personal subjective will, first of all, I want to state that I support and affirm all legal foreign investors, one point is undeniable, over the years of reform and opening up, foreign investors have contributed a lot to the development of our Chinese economy, for this point, I am more recognized.

Even now, foreign investors still have a very large market share in many sectors of our country.

This also shows that our country has been encouraging foreign investment from beginning to end, and our country has been creating a good business environment from beginning to end, whether it is for foreign businessmen or domestic businessmen, our investment environment is getting better and better.

Especially with the drastic changes in the international situation, especially the serious deterioration of the investment environment in your old United States, in sharp contrast, the investment environment in our country is getting better and better.

Therefore, I am positive and supportive of foreign investors.

Of course, we can safely say that most foreign investors are legitimate, and we welcome them. However, we cannot deny that there are indeed a small number of investors, under the banner of investment, but they are engaged in illegal activities, treating some of our enterprises in China and even some places as lambs to be slaughtered.

So, you're a lady, is there a problem with us doing things according to our domestic laws?"

Alice was once again dumbfounded by Liu Haotian's question.

And at this time, Yoshikawa Tomoro, the financial director of Kameda Port Transport Group, suddenly walked into Liu Haotian and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Liu, I also want to ask you a question?"

When Alice saw that someone had come forward, and it was you who were coaxing my investor, Alice was overjoyed, and immediately handed the microphone to Tomiro Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Furo looked at Liu Haotian with a calm expression and said, "County Magistrate Liu, I would like to ask, if your Baining County loses in this fair competition, will you be severely criticized by the leaders of your county party committee when you go back?

Again, this is a very sharp question, c

The photojournalist of M TV immediately pointed the camera at Liu Haotian and quickly captured the expression on Liu Haotian's face, but Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Mr. Yoshikawa Tomiro, since you speak Mandarin so well, then I want to ask, do you know that there is an ancient poem in our China that says this, the victory and defeat of the army are unexpected, and the humiliation and humiliation are men."

There is also a saying that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, so don't be obsessed with victory and defeat, but focus on the process of doing things, for us officials, as long as we have a clear conscience, wholeheartedly for the development of our local welfare, for the well-being of the people, then I think victory or defeat is not so important.

Of course, I don't think we're going to lose this bid!"

As soon as Liu Haotian said this, Danielson, the Asian vice president of Robinson Changyun Group, who had talked to Zhao Hongzhe before, suddenly came over and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Liu, I can be 100% sure that this bid for your Baining County will definitely fail!"

Liu Haotian couldn't help but squint his eyes, looked at Danielson with a smile and said, "Mr. Danielson, I don't know what basis you have for saying this?"

Danielson smiled slightly: "Actually, you shouldn't have come to participate in this competition at all, you look at these companies that came to participate in the competition, either they are bigwigs in the investment community, and there is no shortage of funds in their hands, or they are large-scale engineering operation companies with rich experience in project operation.

Since you don't have anything, what are you going to compete with us commercial companies?

As far as I know, there is a saying in your Huaxia that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, although you Liu Haotian claim to be dedicated to the people, but you don't have any hole cards in your hand, you just have a lot of blood, what can you do? Do you only rely on your enthusiasm to do things for the people? Don't you think that you are too hypocritical to be a man?"
