Chapter 47: Fifty million dollars

The New Year has just passed, but the lively bustle of Liushuipan City has not passed. On February 24, the Liushuipan City Economic Reform Pilot Zone held a founding meeting in the city gymnasium. For this reason, the central government also sent a State Councilor and the minister of the Ministry of Industry to attend. All eleven members of the province attended. Leaders from the Provincial Planning Commission, the Department of Industry, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Finance, the Department of Rural and Urban-Rural Development, the Investment and Merchants Bureau and other departments were also present. The reception ceremony was chaired by Acting Governor Huang Zhenhua. Huang Zhenhua served as Acting Governor when the former governor stepped down to the second line. He had to wait until the People's Congress in March before he officially took office.

Finally, amid the sound of gongs and drums, State Councilor Guo Dekang and Provincial Party Secretary Sun Yang unveiled the plaque of the "Liushuipan Economic Reform Pilot Zone", with applause thunderous, which marked that Liushuipan City would enter the fast lane of economic development and also marked that Qianzhou's backwardness would change as a result.

Municipal Party Secretary Qin Honghao and Mayor Liang Minkuan were both excited. They knew what this plaque meant to them. Although 58-year-old Secretary Qin had to retire after working for another two years, at least he would have to get this plaque in his own hands, at least he would leave a deep page in history, especially in the history of Qianzhou. For the energetic Liang Minkuan, he was only 52 years old, and if he did well, he could still take up a ministerial position.

He Baoguo and Chen Qigang also attended today's ceremony. Before the ceremony began, State Councilor Guo Dekang met with comrades from the city accompanied by Sun Yang and Huang Zhenhua.

When he walked to He Baoguo and Chen Qigang, when he heard Secretary Qin Honghao introduce the names of the two, State Councilor Guo Dekang said with interest:

"Haha, I know the names of you two. Some time ago, Comrade Zhao Zhibang went to the capital to fight for the brand of this experimental zone and specifically mentioned you two. Do it well." When Zhao Zhibang went to the capital to strive for the approval of the Liushuipan Experimental Zone, he specifically contacted his former leader Guo Dekang to seek support.

"We must be under the leadership of the provincial party committee and government, the municipal party committee and government, and with the help and guidance of Secretary Sun, Governor Huang and our Secretary Qin, Mayor Liang, strictly follow the requirements of the central government, work hard to achieve results as soon as possible, live up to the instructions of you and Secretary Zhao Zhibang, and live up to the people's ardent expectations." He Baoguo's answer was well-organized, taking care of all aspects, and expressed his determination. Chen Qigang stood beside him and nodded hurriedly.

"Haha, that's OK, then I hope to see your good news soon. Comrade Qigang, I also heard that you have a very smart son," Guo Dekang was quite satisfied with He Baoguo's answer, and came to Chen Qigang and said with a smile.

"This, that child is a little smart, but he is still very naughty. Thank you for your praise from the leader." Chen Qigang was a little surprised when he heard Guo Dekang mention Chen Kangjie on such an occasion. He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

Secretary Sun Yang has also heard of Chen Kangjie. Although he had just come down from the central ministries and commissions, Zhao Zhibang had communicated with him when he came to the central government to fight for the Liushuipan experimental zone. If he wanted to be transferred, he had to call it some communication with the new book he took over. When communicating with Sun Yang, Zhao Zhibang mentioned Chen Qigang's son Chen Kangjie more than once, and even added the Liushuipan experimental zone. He also added it with careful consideration after talking with Chen Kangjie. However, Sun Yang never had the opportunity to see Chen Kangjie.

However, Qin Honghao and Liang Minkuan didn't know Chen Kangjie. When the State Councilor praised and mentioned a child on such a serious occasion, he was very speculative. What kind of intelligence should be needed to get such treatment? Seeing that Chen Qigang was in his forties, was he a son who was in college valued by his leader?

After Chen Qigang answered like that, Guo Dekang just smiled and then shook hands with the comrades below.

After attending the city ceremony, He Baoguo and Chen Qigang returned to the district. Although they had certain policies and guaranteed the leaders, they were really unsure of how much foreign investment this place could have.

On February 27, Qin Honghao received a call from the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau, saying that a Hong Kong company was going to visit Liushuipan, Liuchi District, hoping that the city and district could do a good job in reception. After receiving this news, Qin Honghao and Liang Minkuan were very excited. Unexpectedly, foreign businessmen came to the door so soon. Although He Baoguo and Chen Qigang were informed in advance by Chen Kangjie, they still seemed very excited. This is not that they don’t believe Chen Kangjie, but that there is no foreign company in Liushuipan City.

On the 28th, Ouyang Zhenhua brought seven people to six, five were food professionals and two were secretaries. For this reason, the Provincial Investment Promotion Office also specially provided a business minibus. This time, Ouyang Zhenhua strictly followed the procedures and communicated with the Investment Promotion Agency first.

Accompanied by the company, Zheng Mingcheng, Qin Honghao and Liang Minkuan, the deputy director of the China Merchants Bureau, and Zhang Qiang, the deputy mayor in charge of economy, also rushed to six from the city, showing his importance and welcome to the first foreign businessman. At the Welcoming Hotel, Ouyang Zhenhua shook hands with these leaders one by one, they all acted neither humble nor arrogant, but when it was Chen Qigang and He Baoguo's turn, they seemed very respectful and even smiled a little flatteringly.

Chen Qigang met Ouyang Zhenhua, but he didn't expect Ouyang Zhenhua to use this attitude to treat him. After all, Ouyang Zhenhua is now a guest and is also a welcome investor.

After greeting each other, everyone entered the conference room of the district committee.

"First of all, on behalf of the city and the district, I welcome Mr. Ouyang to visit our Liushuipan just after the Spring Festival. We will try our best to provide as much help as possible for your company's investment. If Mr. Ouyang has any requirements, we can also fully propose them and we will do our best to cooperate." After the guest and host sat down, Qin Honghao went straight to the point.

"Thank you, the leaders, for your welcome to us. This time we are here, it is a very sincere business investigation. We hope to find business opportunities here. The Liushuipan Economic Reform Pilot Zone has just been established, and we also hope to make some contributions in it." Ouyang Zhenhua's answer was square and expressed his sincerity.

"I wonder what industry Mr. Ouyang plans to inspect in Liushuipan?" Mayor Liang Minkuan was not polite. He heard Ouyang Zhenhua say that he was very sincere and asked a substantive question.

"We plan to focus on food in the early stage to see if we can have the right opportunity to open a food processing factory here," Ouyang Zhenhua also answered positively.

When I heard that Ouyang Zhenhua was investigating food, the enthusiasm in his heart just now cooled down a little. Liushuipan area is mainly based on industry, especially heavy industry. The food industry is not a strong point. Moreover, the investment in food factories during this period would not be large, and there were no large food factories in China.

"I don't know how much Mr. Ouyang plans to invest?" Chen Qigang didn't avoid it because he knew Ouyang Zhenhua and asked his most concerned questions directly.

When the other leaders heard Chen Qigang's question so directly, their faces looked a little bad. After all, it would be rude to ask like this. If foreign businessmen waved their sleeves, it would be no more than a loss. Grasshoppers are also meat, but they also wanted to ask this in their hearts, so they all looked at how Ouyang Zhenhua would behave.

"If it is appropriate, we plan to invest 50 million US dollars in advance, and then increase the situation as appropriate in the later period. Of course, if there is no suitable opportunity in Liushuipan City, we will continue to inspect other regions." If it is someone else's question, Ouyang Zhenhua probably won't feel good, but it was his boss's father who asked, Ouyang Zhenhua didn't dare to show off and said the planned amount, but it was mentioned that he would consider the inspection in other regions. That was because Ouyang Zhenhua captured their expressions and wanted to put some pressure on them, and at the same time he was trying to gain bargaining chips in negotiations.

I heard it was 50 million or US dollars, and Qin Honghao and Liang Minkuan's eyes were almost green, while the deputy director Zheng Mingcheng of the China Merchants Corporation had dark eyes and was almost so excited that he wanted to faint. The task given to them in this year was only 10 million US dollars. If the negotiation could be completed, wouldn't it be 500% completed? Fortunately, the director did not come, otherwise the credit would have been taken away.
