March 6th, 10: 00 AM.
Shu City Conference Center.
The Sichuan Provincial Party Secretary Liu Minghua, the Sichuan Propaganda Minister, the Sichuan Education Department Director, the Sichuan Poverty Alleviation Office Director … met with the well-known domestic entrepreneur and chairman of Faraway Group, Li Dong.
When they met, the meeting was very formal.
From beginning to end, there were cameramen following them, and they did not miss a single shot.
In this case, no one would speak carelessly.
Li Dong was no exception. He had a smile on his face the whole time and listened carefully to Liu Minghua.
Liu Minghua spoke clearly. First, he thanked Faraway Group and the Distance Charitable Fund for their help in education.
Then, he affirmed the status of Li Dong and Faraway Group in the business world, calling them one of the best entrepreneurs and enterprises in the country.
After praising Li Dong and Faraway for a while, Liu Minghua finally said, "I hope Faraway Group will strengthen communication and exchanges with other parts of Sichuan, and participate in the economic and cultural construction of our province on a larger scale. At the same time, we will further expand investment cooperation in e-commerce, education, culture, logistics, and other fields, and lay out more modern service industry projects. We will better drive the people to graduate nearby, and drive international and domestic well-known enterprises to invest and develop in Sichuan … "
Li Dong was modest for a while, then replied in the official language, "Faraway Group is very optimistic about the good investment environment and broad development prospects of Sichuan. In the next few years, Faraway Group will work with many cities and states in Sichuan to carry out project investment layout in commercial supermarkets, logistics, e-commerce, commercial real estate, and many other aspects. With charity as a starting point, continue to increase the intensity of Faraway Group's investment in Sichuan, speed up the construction, and make new contributions to the economic and social development of Sichuan … "
…
The two sides talked for about half an hour.
In this half an hour, Li Dong's back was soaked.
It was not because he was scared, but because he was tired!
He was really tired!
He was used to speaking casually. Even when he met with Du Anmin and Qin Hanyuan, he spoke with this attitude. At most, he would just be more respectful.
But when he talked with Liu Minghua, it was completely without any other personal emotions.
Both sides talked in the official language. Because of this, Li Dong watched the news several times last night.
Not only from Sichuan, but also from the leaders and businessmen of other provinces. In the end, they came up with such a response.
After the conversation ended, not only did Li Dong feel a lot more relaxed, but Liu Minghua also felt the same.
Liu Minghua signaled the cameraman to stop recording. The smile on his face became much more sincere. He looked at Li Dong and said, "General Manager Li, I'm serious about what I said just now.
Faraway Group was a well-known enterprise, and the Sichuan government sincerely hoped that Faraway Group could invest in Sichuan.
Far away last year, when I came to Sichuan for an inspection, I wasn't here.
It was said that at that time, Faraway Group planned to invest in dozens of supermarkets in Sichuan, but in the end, it did not happen.
Far away, on the other hand, had not only made large-scale investments, but even the Southwest Logistics Center had been set up there.
Sichuan's investment environment is definitely not worse than Shancheng's. If General Manager Li has any difficulties, please let us know. The Sichuan government will do its best to protect the interests of the enterprise. "
Last year, Liu Minghua had not yet come to Sichuan to be the boss. At that time, Sichuan's attitude towards Faraway Group's investment was unclear.
Coupled with the earthquake, Li Dong finally gave up the investment in Sichuan.
Because of this, many people in the Sichuan government were dissatisfied.
This dissatisfaction was not directed at Li Dong or Faraway Group, but the group of leaders last year.
Because of them, Sichuan lost billions of investment. This statement was not false at all.
Faraway Group invested more than 1 billion in the supermarket and logistics center in Shancheng in the later period, approaching 2 billion.
In 2007, the total GDP of Sichuan Province was 1056.2 billion, and the investment scale of private enterprises in the province was about 280 billion.
If Distance Group's investment in Sichuan Airlines was added, and Distance Group's investment in Sichuan and Shancheng was on a similar scale, it should be able to reach five billion yuan.
It occupied about 1.8% of the total annual investment of private enterprises in the province. What kind of concept was this?
A private enterprise had invested up to 5 billion in the western region of Sichuan and Shu. That was a huge client.
Others couldn't snatch it, and they couldn't curry favor with it.
But Sichuan!
Last year, when Li Dong came for an inspection, the Sichuan government actually ignored Li Dong to avoid suspicion.
Because of this, Sichuan suddenly lost billions of investment.
Not to mention that Far away was now involved in commercial real estate. They spent 6 billion on land in Beijing. After the project was completed, including the supermarket, the investment in the Beijing-Tianjin area alone exceeded 10 billion.
Liu Minghua did not expect to invest 10 billion Far away in Sichuan, but investing 5 or 6 billion was fine.
Far away's supermarket and logistics could solve a lot of local employment problems.
To be honest, because of this, he showed dissatisfaction with the Sichuan government several times.
Otherwise, he would not have personally met with Li Dong this time. This kind of thing was actually more suitable for the provincial government.
Seeing Liu Minghua's sincere attitude, Li Dong also smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, Faraway Group actually hopes to reach a further cooperative relationship with Sichuan. When I came last year, I already had this idea, but unfortunately … "
Li Dong said as he shook his head slightly, "To be honest, Sichuan's attitude disappointed me, and I didn't dare to invest.
An investment of billions or even tens of billions is too important for a company.
At the end of last year, Far away Technology invested in building a big data center. Some people said that Sichuan's geographical environment and resources are more suitable for building a big data center.
At that time, I thought about it, but unfortunately, because Feng City's government moved us with sincerity, we chose Feng City's side.
The impact of a big data center on the upgrading of a place's industry, I think Secretary Liu can understand.
If Far away feels that Sichuan is worth investing in, this will not be the first big data center, and it will not be the last.
However, we did not see Sichuan's sincerity.
There are some things that should not be said to Secretary Liu, but I am young, so I will say what I want to say.
Let's talk about this publicity event, Secretary Liu should also understand my painstaking efforts. "
Liu Minghua sighed, being able to reach such a high position, how could he not understand Li Dong's concerns.
At this moment, his heart was indeed full of regret. Big data center, industrial upgrading, building a smart city, this was not Li Dong's initiative.
In the past few years, in fact, all the local governments were looking for opportunities to break through and upgrade their industries.
When Liu Minghua came to Sichuan, he actually carefully analyzed the industrial layout of Sichuan.
Because of the geographical restrictions, Sichuan's industry was not very developed, it was mainly an agricultural province.
If you want to change, if you want to reform, then you have to break through!
Building a smart city, there are precedents abroad, there is also this trend in China, Liu Minghua even went to various places to investigate.
He did not know that Far away actually wanted to build a big data center in Sichuan, if he knew, he would fight for it no matter what!
Unfortunately, regret is useless.
First, he did not work in Sichuan at that time, second, things have changed, saying these things is useless.
As for the publicity Li Dong mentioned, he actually understood.
Li Dong is not the kind of person who likes to do big things, if it is for publicity, when he came to Sichuan last year for charity investment, he should have done a lot of publicity.
In fact, Far away did not do much publicity at that time.
Even if he didn't know about it before, he would know about it after he found out more about it. He wanted to advertise it to 100 schools at this time.
Thinking of this, Liu Minghua sincerely said, "General Manager Li, this publicity event, the Sichuan government will definitely cooperate with Faraway Group. Giving the greatest confidence to the enterprise, the best interest guarantee, the largest profit margin, these are the responsibilities of the local government. I won't say much about the past, the future Sichuan will be inclusive, we sincerely hope that well-known enterprises at home and abroad can come to Sichuan to invest. It used to be the Kingdom of Heavenly Province, and it's still the same now. The attitude of some people can't represent the entire Sichuan Province! "
The last sentence was said by Liu Minghua in a powerful and resonant manner.
Li Dong pondered for a moment, smiled and said, "I believe in Secretary Liu, and I also believe that under Secretary Liu's leadership, the future Sichuan will be different from the past. I dare not say anything else, but in the next few years, as long as Secretary Liu is in Sichuan, Faraway Group will make Sichuan the core area of the development of the southwest region. "
Liu Minghua suddenly laughed, not just because of Li Dong's guarantee.
A thousand gold can change a horse's bones!
The reason why he had this attitude towards Far away this time is also to tell everyone about the changes in Sichuan.
Sichuan is not xenophobic, nor is it closed.
Even Faraway Group is willing to invest in Sichuan, Sichuan will give them the guarantee they deserve, what else is there for other enterprises to worry about?
In the past few years, the investment environment in Sichuan was not good, Liu Minghua knew this in his heart.
And now he is officially announcing to the public that Sichuan is different!
Liu Minghua's arrival is the starting point to change all of this.
As for how to gain the trust of Far away, this is simple, he just said … to cooperate with Far away's publicity!
He believes that Li Dong should understand what he means.
This time, there are people who want to invest Far away. Liu Minghua's words are a promise, and the Sichuan government will not sit back and do nothing.
If anyone destroys this publicity, they will be responsible!
When necessary, Liu Minghua doesn't mind killing a chicken to warn the monkey.
Like Du Anmin, Liu Minghua, who just arrived, also needs to let people understand that his time has come.
With a common ground, the following negotiation between Li Dong and Liu Minghua was much more relaxed.
Halfway through, Liu Minghua even asked about the situation in Jiangbei.
The starting point of his career was in Jiangbei, and he is familiar with some of the old people in Jiangbei's officialdom.
For example, Wu Changguo, the secretary of Jiangbei's Political and Legal Committee, worked with Liu Minghua in the past.
Originally, the meeting was only half an hour. The first half was an official meeting, but the second half became a private meeting. The two talked for a full hour.
When Li Dong and his party left, Liu Minghua sent them all the way downstairs.
There were many people who saw this scene, and many of them were shocked.
This kind of treatment, to be honest, even if Li Dong is a well-known domestic tycoon, it is still a bit too much for him.
And Liu Minghua hoped to see such a result.
…
Coming out from the Shu City Conference Center, Li Dong couldn't help but sigh, "Such a powerful person."
Shen Qian also nodded, "Indeed, I feel that he has a bigger picture than Secretary Qin."
Qin Han's origin ability isn't bad, and he has his own unique way of dealing with people.
However, compared to Liu Minghua, there is still a gap between them. This gap is what Shen Qian said.
Sometimes, this thing is actually very illusory, but for people like Li Dong, he can still feel it.
In fact, there is one more point that Li Dong didn't mention. If you really want to compare, even Du Anmin's picture is somewhat inferior to Liu Minghua.
However, that was in the past. Later, after Du Anmin entered the capital, his picture changed. This is related to the experience of both sides.
Du Anmin has always been working at the local level, but Liu Minghua from the local level to the central level, and from the central level to the local level. Their experience is different, and the perception of some things will naturally be different.
Later, when Du Anmin entered the capital, this difference is not obvious. Both sides can be considered to have their own strengths and weaknesses.
After talking about Liu Minghua for a while, Shen Qian asked, "You really want to invest in Sichuan?"
Li Dong nodded, "I am serious. In the southwest region, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, and Shancheng, these five areas, Sichuan has an obvious advantage. Sichuan is the most populous, the most convenient transportation, and the most economically developed area. Although the economy of Shancheng is developed, the restrictions of Shancheng are too big, and the area is too small. Moreover, developing in Sichuan can radiate to the entire southwest region, including Shancheng. Therefore, to open up the southwest market, developing in Sichuan is inevitable. "
Shen Qian nodded, "I understand what you said, but don't forget about Tang Long!"
Li Dong narrowed his eyes, "Tang Long is not enough. I don't care much about Tang Long. As for the person behind Tang Long …"
With that said, Li Dong smiled, "Today is different from the past. I am so high-profile now, they will not deliberately make things difficult for me. It's fine if Tang Long keeps a low profile, that person can support him. But if Tang Long does something out of line and is too high-profile, putting himself under the spotlight, do you think that person will still care about a dog he keeps? "
Shen Qian thought for a moment, then agreed, "That's true. Moreover, Sichuan is now Liu Minghua's era!"
Li Dong could not help but laugh. That was not wrong.
The more extraordinary Liu Minghua was, the more he would not tolerate people stretching their hands too far.
It was fine if it was a small matter, he could pretend not to see it.
If it was too big, Liu Minghua would not tolerate it.
In the country, it seemed like there was a big gap between the two sides, but in fact, it was not as big as outsiders thought.
The future of a feudal official was not something that could be affected by a single person, and it was not something that could be beaten down just because someone was dissatisfied.
Of course, others would not make things difficult for Liu Minghua because of a dog.
Not to mention that there were many people involved. Du Anmin could be counted as one, and even that person from the Inner Palace could be counted as another.
Because of Tang Long, falling out with these people was something that only an idiot would do.
The two of them chatted and laughed. In short, they were quite satisfied with this meeting, and Liu Minghua's attitude was also very clear.
They dared not say for the long term, but in the next few years, when Liu Minghua was in power, the interests of Far Away's development in Sichuan would be guaranteed.
And after a few years, Far Away would only go higher and higher, and when that time came, they would not need to care about some unspoken rules.
