Seeing the other party agreeing, Liu Yongzhuo also smiled: "Okay, let's make a decision. If Mayor Yue has no other arrangements, he will take my car to leave after the tea party. I know some good small restaurants are not very famous and the dishes taste quite good. The rare thing is that they are quieter."

"Okay, my secretary and I are completely arranged by you, Xiao Liu. But you have to rely on me and you have to settle the account." Yue Huanshan said readily.

"Let's talk about it then." Liu Yongzhuo was also in a happy mood. He liked people with a personality like Yue Huanshan the most.

There was no substantive content for the next tea party. Zuo Yue had other official duties, and this was the truth between Liu Yongzhuo and Yue Huanshan. He, an outsider, was not suitable for intervening, so he did not attend the banquet with Yue Huanshan.

After the tea party, Liu Yongzhuo went over to meet some familiar city councilors, greeted him, and then said goodbye and left. He drove himself and led Yue Huanshan and the other party's secretary to a relatively secluded restaurant. He entered the door and found a table by the window to sit down, and skillfully ordered a few dishes.

The guest and the host used tea instead of wine, and after tribute to each other, they began to get to the topic.

"Mayor Yue, now you can talk. Is there anything wrong with you when you found me this time?" Liu Yongzhuo asked with a smile.

Yue Huanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "The wise man doesn't say secret words. I think Xiao Liu is also a cheerful person, so I won't hide it. This time I went out, the main purpose of my trip was to beg for alms. The first stop was to choose Huayang Heavy Industry of your Liu family."

"Begging for alms?" Liu Yongzhuo responded, not feeling too surprised.

From the beginning when he heard Yue Huanshan complain, but later when he heard the other party say he wanted to go to find him, he guessed a little bit. As the head of a city, Yue Huanshan would have to come to Liuzhou to meet him through Mayor Zuo Yue, of course, it would not be out of the need to chase stars.

When the government looks for enterprises, there is generally only one thing, that is, begging for alms. However, Huayang Heavy Industry and Baise City have no relatives and no reason. Yue Huanshan’s hand is stretched out a bit too long.

"Mayor Yue, what's the name of begging for alms?" Liu Yongzhuo still smiled, but the intimacy in his smile was a little less, and it was a bit cautious. Not everyone would like to ask entrepreneurs for money to make things happen, and maybe they would make enemies.

"Xiao Liu, don't get me wrong. The begging for alms I mentioned is not about asking you for sponsorship." Yue Huanshan blushed and said, ◇The feeling of human beings was not good. At his age, he begged for alms to a young man in his twenties. That kind of embarrassment is inevitable.

With Liu Yongzhuo's current identity and status, if he leaves at this time, Yue Huanshan will be helpless.

Not to mention that Baise City is just a poor city under your province, even if the governor of your province is coming to beg for alms with Liu Yongzhuo, it is beyond the reach.

The power of Xinghua News Agency is spread all over the world. Not to mention a province, even if the entire country unites to strangle Xinghua News Agency, it is just forcing the Liu family to transfer core assets abroad.

"If it's not for sponsorship, what do you mean by begging for alms?" Liu Yongzhuo still did not relax his vigilance.

"I want to ask you Huayang Heavy Industry to invest in our Baise." Yue Huanshan said directly what he wanted for this trip, "It doesn't matter how much investment it costs ☆ The key is that I can remove you and you can bring a concept to our Baise."

"My economist and I have analyzed that our poverty in Baise has objective factors and subjective factors. Objective things cannot be changed, but subjective factors can be changed. To change such subjective factors, we need a capable person like you, Xiao Liu."

When Yue Huanshan said this, his eyes showed some sincere and eager expressions. Yongzhuo saw it and his heart couldn't help but move.

From the exchange just now, Yongzhuo could feel that this old man was a honest person, otherwise he would not have been the poorest city in the province to be the mayor. In the elected political system, this is definitely not a bad thing, it is simply a bad person.

Liu Yongzhuo felt very reluctant to beg for him so low that Yue Huanshan wanted him to beg for him. However, it was not a trivial matter for Yue Huanshan to eliminate his help, and he could not agree on impulse.

"Mayor Yue, you're a little embarrassed." Liu Yongzhuo said slowly: "After all, Huayang Heavy Industry is just a company. Whatever we do, we still have to consider economic benefits. Mayor Yue said this out of thin air, we will eliminate our investment, so what is our return on investment?"

His tone paused. Although he felt it was difficult to say it, Liu Yongzhuo still said straight to the point: "If there is no return, even if I agree, our group office meeting may not be passed."

This is not an excuse, but the fact. The so-called group means not only one boss, but a joint-stock system, which belongs to joint investment. There are also shareholders of all sizes within the company, and these people also have the right to speak for the company's major business decisions.

Yue Huanshan shook his head, "General Manager Liu, I'm so sorry, I don't know what reward we can give you. From a policy perspective, we can give you all the discounts, tax reductions, free allocation of land, and we can give you all the discounts that others can give."

"But I know that these are not attractive to you. Because other places can also give such conditions, and their geographical conditions are more than ten times better than ours."

Liu Yongzhuo didn't say anything anymore. Since Yue Huanshan himself knew this, what else should he say?

Now he just asked him for some sponsorship, such as funding the establishment of several primary schools in Huiyue Huanshan, and paying 1.8 million yuan, Liu Yongzhuo would not frown.

In fact, the company now invests tens of millions in every year in education and poverty alleviation. In terms of charity, most shareholders of the company are very consistent with Liu Yongzhuo, and they all think that companies should bear some social responsibilities.

But investment is another matter. It not only involves investment in funds, but also involves energy investment in management. When it comes to investment, companies must be profit-oriented. Who is willing to invest money in places like Baise City where conditions are very bad in all aspects.

Yue Huanshan took his briefcase from his secretary, took out a stack of wrinkled paper from it, handed it to Liu Yongzhuo, and said, "Xiao Liu, can you please take a look at these things before you reject my request?"

"What is this?" Liu Yongzhuo asked while taking the paper.

Yue Huanshan whispered: "This is an excellent work from the last elementary school composition competition in our city. I want to come out from the Education Bureau to take care of me. If General Manager Liu is not busy, you can take a look."

Liu Yongzhuo was confused and didn't know what Yue Huanshan wanted him to read the composition of these elementary school students. He opened an article casually and saw that it read:

"One person is a home. One person eats, one person lives, one person thinks about things. Mom and Dad said that they go to the south to make money, and after earning money, they can come back to build a big tiled house. I don't know what the use of building a big tiled house. The house is not my home... The teacher asked us to study hard, and said that if our grades are good, Mom and Dad can feel at ease. But the more he said this, the less I want to study hard. If my grades are poor, Mom and Dad will not feel at ease, and they will come back to see me..."

Looking at the tender handwriting on the composition paper, Yongzhuo suddenly felt his eyes a little wet. He knew what was written in this article. The little author of this article is a very common group in rural areas of underdeveloped areas: left-behind children.

With the development of the coastal economy, more and more mainland farmers left their hometowns and went to the coast to work, thus forming a group of migrant workers with up to 100 million people.

Most migrant workers do not have their own housing on the work site and can only live in the shed, so they cannot take the elderly and children at home with them. Those elderly and children who are left in their hometowns become left-behind elderly and left-behind children.

Liu Yongzhuo can understand the feeling of loneliness of a child who is a few years old. He and his wife Lin Xiner often travel on business. Every time they return home, their young daughter will stick to them and ask for the fatherly and motherly love they owe.

In fact, Liu Yongzhuo and his wife Lin Xiner spend a lot of time with their daughter at home. Compared with those migrant workers who can only return home once a year or even two years, they spend much more time at home. Thinking of their youngest daughter, Liu Yongzhuo immediately felt infinite sympathy for the child who wrote this essay.

Liu Yongzhuo resisted the urge to cry and continued to look through the compositions behind. The writing styles of the young authors were uneven, but the feeling of missing their parents and longing for family reunion revealed in the article was equally strong.

After reading more than a dozen copies, Liu Yongzhuo finally couldn't read it anymore. He put down the pile of composition papers, looked up at Yue Huanshan, and asked, "Mayor Yue, do you want me to read these, what's the point?"

Yue Huanshan then said, "General Manager Liu, I will show you the compositions of these children. I want to tell you one thing. Our Jingxi City has about 2 million people, but there are more than 100,000 left-behind children. What they live every day is the life written on it."

"Because there is no parental discipline and care, various incidents occur frequently, and some children even embarked on the road of crime at a young age. To be honest, I originally planned to live in the position of mayor, maintaining my qualifications, and don't want to make trouble. But this time, the Education Director handed this stack of essays to my office. After reading it, I felt... I was dereliction of duty!"

Speaking of this, Yue Huanshan's voice choked a little. He was embarrassed to cry in front of Liu Yongzhuo, so he could only stop to calm his emotions a little.

Seeing that the mayor had a relationship, the secretary quickly interjected to avoid a silence.

The secretary introduced: "General Manager Liu, Mayor Yue, we, mayor Yue, brought these compositions to the government office meeting. After reading them, all our city leaders burst into tears and unanimously proposed that we must vigorously develop our own industries in Jingxi City, so that farmers will not leave their hometowns, and that the children will not leave their parents."

"This time, Mayor Yue came out to find investors. We don't want large companies like Huayang Heavy Industry to invest and build factories in our places. The labor costs there are much lower than those on the coast and other first-tier cities. If you invest, you will definitely get profits."

"No, it's useless to talk about profits." Yue Huanshan calmed down his emotions, interrupted his secretary and said to Lin Liu Yongzhuo: "General Manager Liu, I can't calculate the cost and income accounts. I can't calculate you corporate bosses. I think if there is any profit in Baise investment, you must have gone long ago, and there is no need for me to come out to beg for alms and invite you to go."

"I just want to beg you for these children. Even if we have pity on our 100,000 left-behind children who are poor, you can give us some opportunities."

"This..." Liu Yongzhuo's heart began to relax.

Yue Huanshan then begged: "General Manager Liu, you may think I am singing a high-profile manner, right? Now all local governments have used all the means to attract investment. I probably have used this set I have done now, but it is just playing the emotional card."

"But, I want to tell you. All these things I do have nothing to do with my personal achievements. I am already fifty-nine years old this year and have no education. I will never be able to advance to the career of the government anyway. I did something well and it would not help me. If I don't do it well and there is anything wrong, I will lose my life in my later years. I can't even get back to retire successfully."

"Then why are you?" Liu Yongzhuo blurted out.

Yue Huanshan looked solemn: "Life is a life, and the plants and trees are all gone. As an ordinary worker, I have to leave some memorable things for myself, right? As a mayor, the economy under my rule cannot develop. The people leave their hometowns and are separated from their flesh and blood. How can I feel at ease if I retire in the future?"

A psychologist named Maslow in the West once proposed that human needs are divided into five levels, from low to high. They are physiological needs, safety needs, emotional and belonging needs, and self-realization needs.

A person always pursues the satisfaction of the lowest level of needs first. When the needs at this level are met, people will turn to higher level of needs.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a high-ranking bureaucrat, there is actually no difference in meeting his own needs. If an ordinary person has no worries about food and clothing, he will begin to demand that he be respected by others and achieve a certain career.

The same is true for government officials. The saying that one official serves as an official and benefits the people is not entirely the illusion of officials. There are some officials who have made political achievements to benefit the people in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. After all, this is a kind of satisfaction of higher-level needs.

As he said, elected local officials like Yue Huanshan have no promotions to be eliminated. It is naturally a life attitude to eat and wait for death all day long, but it is also a life attitude to seek some benefits for the people.

Who doesn’t want to be evaluated by a good official after his term of office expires?

Liu Yongzhuo silently thought about Yue Huanshan's words in his heart, thinking about whether there was any show. Yue Huanshan knew Liu Yongzhuo's thoughts, so he stopped saying anything, but just sipped the tea gently, waiting for Liu Yongzhuo to give a final reply to this matter.

"Mayor Yue, I cannot be arbitrary when it comes to corporate investment. However, the situation introduced by Mayor Yue does make it difficult for me to refuse. Regardless of whether Mayor Yue's idea about you is true or false, seeing the 100,000 left-behind children, we Huayang Heavy Industry should do something no matter what."

"Let's do you Baise have detailed information on investment promotion? If so, please give me a copy and I'll take it back and study it carefully with the shareholders of the group headquarters to see how to operate it in detail to achieve a win-win effect." Liu Yongzhuo finally said this.

"That's great, Xiao Liu, thank you so much!" Yue Huanshan was very happy. He knew that Liu Yongzhuo's statement showed that he had agreed to invest in Jingxi. As for how much he invested, it was a different matter.

For Yuehuanshan, even if it is a great success, even if it has this brand, it will be based on attracting other companies.

Yue Huanshan came out this time to attract investment, so it was impossible for him to bring relevant materials without bringing the relevant materials. His accompanying secretary opened his briefcase, took out a neatly bound material, and handed it to Liu Yongzhuo.

Liu Yongzhuo took the materials, picked up the stack of elementary school compositions, and said to Yue Huanshan: "Mayor Yue, if you allow it, I also want to copy these things. When I go back, I ask the shareholders of our group headquarters to take a look. What do you think?"

"There is no problem at all □ General Manager, after we go back, we are waiting for your good news. We can meet in Jingxi soon!" Yue Huanshan said eagerly, and at this time, he no longer called Liu Yongzhuo as Xiao Liu, but called the other party's position.

This is not politeness, this is a basic etiquette. You can call the other party Xiao Liu in private, but now it is obviously a business, so you naturally have to say something on the scene.

In China, there are many areas like Baise, which are not well-known in geographical location, poor environment, and not many natural resources worth developing, so that most companies are unwilling to enter these areas for investment and construction.

Large enterprises have better choices, even if they go abroad, it is better than investing in these mountains. Small enterprises have small capital and small profits and cannot afford it. If they do business in poor places, they will only have bankruptcy!

But today, between morality and interests, the young Liu Yongzhuo must make a choice.

Should we spend some money on education like his father, or do we really make great efforts to invest in poor mountainous areas and solve the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor in the region from the root.

This kind of choice has always been the most difficult and is certainly a favorable one, but if it fails, it will become a laughing stock.

Neither Xinghua News Agency nor Huayang Heavy Industry can make the final decision alone. Only when his decision is correct can shareholders accept everything happily.
