Chapter 124 Strategic Investors

Mayor Jiang Daqiao is very busy.

Since he became mayor, he has rarely had the opportunity to be with his wife and children and have a complete supper.

He returned home early today, but his wife made his favorite Khrushchev dish. It was supposed to be a happy reunion, but his absent-mindedness destroyed the perfect atmosphere.

His wife is a attending physician in the municipal hospital and is busy with work. Fortunately, her daughter is sensible early and has a good study. She doesn't have to worry too much about her. After dinner, she helped her mother clean the table and wash the dishes, and consciously went back to her room to do her homework.

"Lao Jiang, why is it not going well at work?" His wife Gao Fangfang turned on the TV and the two sat side by side on the sofa.

"Not that." Jiang Daqiao held her hand and sighed: "Some things need great courage to make a decision."

"You mayor, the burden is too heavy." Gao Fangfang unconsciously changed the stage and patted his palm with some distress.

"How can it not be heavy?" The sorrow between Jiang Daqiao's eyebrows was almost like a solid ice that could not be dissolved. Only at home would he retreat from his strong appearance, revealing such obvious emotions: "The national climate is not good, and the Northeast is even more of a severely affected area. There are enterprises in the city who count on each one, and they are all worried..."

Jiang Daqiao was complaining, and suddenly there was a knock outside the door. Gao Fangfang got up and walked towards the door, frowned while walking. At this time, he would come to his home to look for Jiang Daqiao. There must be something important. Maybe tonight will be another sleepless night for Jiang Daqiao.

"Mayor Jiang...oh, sister-in-law. Is the mayor here?" He Xi put away his knocking hand and asked awkwardly.

"Please come in." Gao Fangfang had met He Xi. Knowing that he was the new deputy mayor, he turned his hand and let him in.

"Old man is here." Jiang Daqiao stood up, took two steps to greet him, and then took him into the study.

"Sit down." Jiang Daqiao pointed to the sofa in the study room, then poured him a cup of hot tea. He asked, "Just come back from Fanhan Group?"

He Xi rubbed his hands, and the winter nights in the northeast were getting colder. He drank a little warm tea and then he calmed down a little.

"The workers of the stone casting factory blocked Jiefang Road and delayed it for a while." He also sighed: "After District Mayor Wu persuaded him, he persuaded him to go back."

"The situation in the city this year is not optimistic!" Jiang Daqiao nodded in agreement.

"I talked to Principal Zhou." He Xi handed over the documents he received from Zhou Shuo to Jiang Daqiao and said with a sigh: "The Japanese software market is probably better than the best we expected. When will it be better if we can build the country to the Japanese! The basic salary starts at 2,000 US dollars. If one million people in the embroidery city can earn 2,000 RMB per month, what does that mean?"

He Xi seemed to be trapped in the scene he had imagined, and couldn't help but look at it.

Jiang Daqiao laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? You don't want to increase four or five times your current salary? I'm afraid I won't see that day even if I live!"

He said, while turning on the market research report in his hand and reading it quickly.

"A billion dollar market?" Jiang Daqiao took a deep breath and shook his head, "What a big tone. If you want to be able to cover it, it's hard to say that it can really make the salary standard of Xiucheng even worse."

Jiang Daqiao touched the cover of the report and asked He Xi: "Lao He, you were a veteran of the Commerce Department before you came down. With your perspective, how credible is this report? How effective is the software park project to attract investment? How difficult is it to build?"

Jiang Daqiao was unwilling to give up after all, and the secretary of the Xiucheng Municipal Party Committee was about to retire. But he himself was the mayor who had just taken office. It was almost impossible to go further. If the secretary of the municipal party committee abdicates next year and transfers another secretary of the municipal party committee, it will be five years later. If the secretary of the new municipal party committee is re-elected for two terms, it would be almost normal, and it would be a disaster for his career.

As the saying goes, step by step, step by step, ten years later? Maybe he can get a lame secretary before retirement, but that's it. So, the Japanese Software Park project is his life-saving straw. As long as the project can be implemented in his office this year, then after the old secretary retreats to the second line next year, he may act as secretary for the stability of the project.

After a year of agency, if the project development is initially effective, then the word "Agenda" can be removed.

He Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, and said cautiously: "I think the moisture in the report is not large. This is a commercial survey issued by the Japanese Sakura Bank. Sakura Bank is a large-scale bank in Japan, and its credit and professional level will not be bad. Judging from the current planning of the software park project, the policy can be considered very powerful, tax cuts, tax exemptions, and subsidies can be said to be given by the state, and almost everything is given."

He lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Only in terms of construction, in my opinion, this is the biggest shortcoming of our embroidery city. Dagang and Dagu City are both sub-provincial cities, not to mention the imperial capital. These three cities are much richer than our embroidery city, and the construction funds are very abundant. Our city..."

He Xi said this and looked at Jiang Daqiao tentatively. He shook his head and said, "The city can take out up to 20 million yuan and borrow another 30 million yuan. This is the limit."

He Xi nodded and said simply: "Then we have won the software park project. According to the city's 50 million, the province's support will be supported by 50 million, and the software park project will be supported by 100 million from the country, which is only 200 million."

"Two million, no, right?" Jiang Daqiao asked.

There are really a lot. Before, Xiucheng auctioned twelve state-owned enterprises in business difficulties in one go, but they only saved more than 80 million. This was Zhou Shuo and San Dieban competing with each other and sold Huaguang Factory at a good price. The remaining eleven enterprises were sold at least for a minimum of three million, and almost failed to sell them.

But the key is, how many units are there in such a large embroidery city like Huaguang Factory?

He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Two millions are indeed a lot for the Embroidery City, but it is not enough for such a project. What we want to build is a new city that accommodates more than 100,000 people, and 200 millions are just a drop in the bucket!"

"Then is there no other way?" Jiang Daqiao asked in disbelief.

"Yes." He Xi nodded heavily and said, "Principal Zhou gave me a suggestion, I think I can consider it."

"What?"

"Give up the dominance of the software park project and introduce strategic investors."

Jiang Daqiao was shocked and blurted out: "This is a national-level project!"

"If this is not the case, we will have no chance at all. When the country determines the location of the project, it must consider the issue of funding implementation." He Xi said expressionlessly.

A cigarette lit up at Jiangdaqiao, his eyes passed through the smoke, and his heart was in a fierce confrontation.

People who have no desires in their careers cannot go far. Jiang Daqiao can step by step to the position of mayor, and his ambition and ability are indispensable. He just turned 50 this year, when he was young, he even delayed his age for his career. However, in the position of mayor, only the secretary of the municipal party committee is the best choice.

As a prince, seeking positions like the provincial director at this time will only be equivalent to going downhill. However, if he does not jump directly to the deputy provincial level without going through the position of the municipal party secretary? He does not have this strength yet.

"I need to think about it, think about it again..." Jiang Daqiao murmured to himself.

"Mayor, you should continue to suffer from chaos!" He Xi is also as urgent as Jiang Daqiao? He is younger, but there is Jiang Daqiao, which is not much larger than him. If you can't arch the Jiang Daqiao up, how can he remove the word "sub-"? Jiang Daqiao cannot be delayed for ten years, and He Xi cannot be delayed for the same.

He gritted his teeth and said sinisterly: "Mayor, although Principal Zhou is from our Xiucheng, I think he may not necessarily support the software park project to settle in Xiucheng. Think about it, if other cities are willing to make certain concessions and fight for him, then our Xiucheng will not even have the only advantage."

Jiang Daqiao was frightened and said angrily: "Is this his idea?"

He Xi shook his head and denied: "This is my idea, but I'm afraid that someone in other cities is already making such an idea?"

The more Jiang Daqiao thinks, the more it makes sense. If the embroidery city cannot show the advantages other cities do not have, why should others support the embroidery city that hopes to be smaller? High investment will inevitably require high returns. But this return is really too risky.

Thinking of this, he felt that he might not be able to sleep again tonight.

It’s not just Jiang Daqiao who is also sleepless tonight. Zhou Shuo sat at the desk in his small room and wrote down his names on his notebook with a fountain pen.

1995 was destined to be a peaceful year, and now there are three major projects in front of him.

Software Park, Cable Modem and Six-Ear IM.

Almost every project requires him to do his best to succeed. Although his men have future big bulls like Niu Xing and Tang Jun, they are still weak young eagles. Did they take the risk of entrusting such a big project to them? This tests Zhou Shuo's determination.

Zhou Shuo crossed out Niu Xing's name in his notebook. This knife was a little too sharp. When the software park project was running, you had to be patient and deal with various forces. Niu Xing's big head, if used in such a thing, may be sharp.

Tang Jun, who is meticulous, good at communication, is familiar with international business rules, and has experience studying in Japan, is indeed the best choice for software park projects. Although Liang Jinghui is a native of Xiucheng, he is loyal to Zhou Shuo and a good candidate to balance Tang Jun. With him to grasp the audit work of the entire project, he will feel more at ease when he sleeps.
