It was long before Changrong said that German companies wanted to invest in Dongshan, Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing had already been nervously planning. Yu Changrong said that Dongshan, but the county-level leaders who were qualified to attend the meeting this time were only the two of them. This fully demonstrated that the investment places that Germany intended were not generally pointing to the Dongshan area, but were clearly limited to Tongchuan County. Otherwise, with Tongchuan County's weak industrial strength, what qualifications do they have to sit here to listen to the meeting?

Both of them have worked in Tongchuan County for many years and have a deep understanding of Tongchuan's situation. When Fan Yongkang heard Yu Changrong talk about patriotic overseas Chinese and living in Germany, he knew it in his heart. At this time, he coughed gently and said, "Secretary Xie, Commissioner Yu, if you want to talk about patriotic overseas Chinese, I think it is very likely that he is Mrs. Yan Leqin, Mrs. Feng's wife, because Mrs. Feng is from us from Tongchuan."

"Old Feng?" Xie Kai was stunned, "Which Old Feng?"

Yu Changrong learned about some situations and explained to Xie Kai in a low voice: "It is Mr. Feng Weiren, who used to work in the Metallurgy Department. He originally studied in Germany and returned to China with his two children before liberation. His wife Yan Leqin is also from our Nanjiang area and did not come back with him. Later, I heard that she had passed away because of this. However, judging from the current situation, Ms. Yan should still be alive. This time, it is likely that she will come back to invest."

"Why have I never heard of this before?" Xie Kai asked.

Yu Changrong said: "Old Feng died two years ago. No one knew that Ms. Yan was still alive. In fact, even now, I dare not confirm whether Ms. Yan was the one who was going to invest. But judging from what Qiao Ziyuan said, it was probably her, because Qiao Ziyuan said that this investment was introduced by a child from the Metallurgy Department. Feng Weiren used to work in the Metallurgy Department, so this should be introduced by his descendants."

Feng Weiren was very famous in Nanjiang in the early years, and Yu Changrong also met him. Because Feng Weiren's hometown is in the Dongshan area, Yu Changrong had some impression of him. When Qiao Ziyuan talked about the joint venture with him, Feng Weiren's name flashed through his mind, but because he was not sure whether Feng Weiren was from Tongchuan, he still had some doubts. Now, after hearing from Fan Yongkang that Feng Weiren is from Tongchuan, Yu Changrong can confirm that this investment case is probably related to Feng Weiren.

Xie Kai was recently transferred to Dongshan area to work and didn't know much about these things. After listening to Yu Changrong's introduction, he nodded and said, "Let's teach you a lesson. If it weren't for Director Qiao's introduction, we would have almost missed such a foreign investment. Lao Yu, I suggest that after the Spring Festival, we will conduct a survey of overseas Chinese relatives across the region, do a good job in resettlement and care for these relatives, and ask them to contact their relatives overseas to contribute to the construction of their hometown."

"I agree." Yu Changrong responded quickly.

Xie Kai asked again: "Old Yu, what else did Director Qiao say on the phone? Did he say that the other party hoped to build this company? "

Yu Changrong said: "This is why I urgently convened this meeting. Lao Fan and Lao Xiong, this is also why I informed you two to come here. Let's tell the truth. Director Qiao clearly stated on the phone that the other party just wanted to build this factory in Tongchuan County."

"What, Tongchuan County!" Liu Zhiwu's eyes glared again, "How can there be any factory in Tongchuan? Who are they coming to join the joint venture with? No, no, absolutely not!"

"Deputy Commissioner Liu, I don't agree with you saying this. We also have more than 20 industrial enterprises in Tongchuan. Besides, our industrial foundation is a bit weak because the region always ignores us and refuses to build the factory in our place."

Xiong Xiaoqing held Liu Zhiwu with his neck in a thorn. Although Liu Zhiwu is a deputy specialist, he is bigger than Xiong Xiaoqing's official position. In normal times, Xiong Xiaoqing must be respectful to him, but now it is time to compete for projects, so how can he be polite? Liu Zhiwu opened his mouth and said that he could not build a joint venture factory in Tongchuan, which was a violation of Xiong Xiaoqing's reverse scale. If he didn't speak, the duck that reached his mouth would fly.

"Xiaoqing, you can't just stare at your jars and jars." Liu Zhiwu said, "You have to know that this is a German company. How can you get this great master in your agricultural machinery factory? Our region is relatively strong, namely the blower factory and the Dongshan Machinery Factory. In my opinion, let the Germans choose one of these two factories to join the joint venture."

Fan Yongkang said: "Deputy Commissioner Liu, this is not OK. Commissioner Yu just said that he wanted to invest in Tongchuan by name. If he hadn't recognized our Tongchuan, then there were so many large enterprises in Xinling, why would he have to come to Dongshan?"

"Can you do this with them? Tongchuan is Mr. Feng's hometown, and Dongshan is also Mr. Feng's hometown. Is there any difference between these two places?" Liu Zhiwu said.

"Of course there is a difference..." Xiong Xiaoqing condemned.

"We must respect the choices of overseas Chinese." Fan Yongkang also agreed.

"Yongkang, Xiaoqing, don't be anxious." Xie Kai spoke. He discussed with Yu Changrong a few words, and then said to Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing: "My intention and I are still inclined to Lao Liu's opinion. If a German company and blower factory or Dongshan Machinery Factory jointly venture, it will be more beneficial for the development of our region. Tongchuan's largest machinery company, namely your Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory, has only more than 50 people, and the equipment and technology are not good. I am afraid that German companies will lose interest when they come and see it."

"Secretary Xie, I think this problem is easy to solve." Xiong Xiaoqing said, "Before the Germans come, the region will allocate some money to us first. We will transform the Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory and then adjust some equipment and talents from Dongshan Machinery Factory. Wouldn't it be nice?"

"Isn't this fart after taking off your pants? It's an extravagant move." Liu Zhiwu said.

"But the problem is that the overseas Chinese clearly said that they wanted to invest in Tongchuan, so what power do we have to make people change?" Xiong Xiaoqing argued.

Xie Kai waved his hand and said, "Xiaoqing, don't say anything more. I understand your opinions very well, but now is not the time to engage in local protectionism. Everything should start from the overall situation of introducing foreign investment. I think your Tongchuan County Party Committee and County Government should cooperate with overseas Chinese and try to convince them to build their enterprises in Dongshan City. As for the sacrifices you have made, the Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Office will not forget them."

"This..." Xiong Xiaoqing was speechless. This was the top leader's words, and it was discussed with Yu Changrong, so it was difficult for them to turn over.

"Secretary Xie, what if the other party insists that he wants to build a factory in Tongchuan?" Xiong Xiaoqing made his last effort.

"I think we should prepare for this matter for both." Yu Changrong said, "First, Yongkang and Xiaoqing should have the spirit of sacrificing their families, obey the arrangements of the Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Office, go back and contact the relatives of Feng's hometown, and strive to convince Ms. Yan to agree to build the joint venture in Dongshan City. If this matter can be done, you two will be the biggest contributors. Second, we must also prepare each other to stick to their original ideas, so after you two go back, you must immediately organize cadres and staff in the county to clean up the environment, and do a good job in welcoming overseas Chinese to return to their hometown to invest, and make sure to leave a good impression on Ms. Yan."

Xie Kai said: "Even if Ms. Yan agreed to invest in Dongshan, she would definitely go to Tongchuan County. So no matter which preparation is made, you must improve the environmental sanitation of the county town and Feng's hometown. What does the old saying mean? It is called loess mat road and water purifying street. You must do it according to this standard."

"Okay, we obey the arrangements of the Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Office." Fan Yongkang compromised. He agreed in his mouth, but he was thinking about whether he could find Feng Weiren's close relatives, and handed a message in private, so that Yan Leqin had to insist on investing in Tongchuan no matter what. He didn't believe in any area, such as a game of chess. There were not many decent companies in the county, and he, as the secretary, had no status when he was in the prefectural committee meeting. He thought that the leader would not forget it, and it was useless to say that he would not forget it.

"The environmental sanitation in Dongshan City must also be done well. Hui'e, please implement this personally." Yu Changrong stared at Huang Hui'e and ordered.

"No problem!" Huang Hui'e responded.

Next, everyone had a heated discussion on how to carry out joint ventures, how to resettle staff from joint venture factories, how to equip cadres, and the living arrangements of German experts in Dongshan in the future. When they were most excited, everyone had already imagined what happened 20 years later.

The meeting started from 7 o'clock in the evening until twelve o'clock, and then it ended. When everyone left the venue, Liu Zhiwu pulled Xiong Xiaoqing and said half-jokingly: "Xiaoqing, you guy dare to make a fuss with me. Do you think I'm going to retire and can't deal with you?"

Xiong Xiaoqing is not only lower in level than Liu Zhiwu, but also seven or eight years younger. She was a junior in front of Liu Zhiwu many years ago. She contradicted Liu Zhiwu in the venue for their own interests. When he arrived outside the venue, he could only pretend to be timid, so he smiled and said, "Deputy Commissioner Liu, you have been wronged to me. I am not apologizing with you. Isn't this afraid that the overseas Chinese will be unhappy?"

Liu Zhiwu said: "You go back and find someone quickly. I know Mr. Feng, and he has nephews, nephews, and grandchildren in Tongchuan County. You can find these people and go to Xinling to find Mr. Feng's son. Tell him about this, which will definitely happen."

"I understand, it's so late, Lao Fan and I will stay in Dongshan first, let's talk about it tomorrow." Xiong Xiaoqing said.
