At the dining table, Li Chunni did not speak from the beginning to the end and let her subordinates engage in a war of words. Perhaps, her mind was no longer on work but on Lu Yiwei, who was sitting opposite her.
There was no substantial progress in the negotiations, so Li Chunni and her entourage left Nanyang County after the meal. Before she left, she only exchanged glances with Lu Yiwei without saying anything. After sending off the God of Fortune, Zhang Zhiyuan called Bai Yuxin and Lu Yiwei to his office to discuss countermeasures.
"Yiwei, what's wrong with you today? You've been absent-minded all day. Tell me what you're thinking. "Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Lu Yiwei and reprimanded him.
Bai Yuxin also noticed something wrong with Lu Yiwei, so she joked, "Are you tempted by a beauty? Let me tell you, you can't touch that woman. Haha. "
Lu Yiwei awkwardly said, "No, no. I'm not feeling well today. I'm sorry, County Zhang."
Zhang Zhiyuan did not blame Lu Yiwei and asked, "What's your opinion on today's negotiations?"
Lu Yiwei told the truth, "The other party is a businessman, and we're the government. Businessmen seek to maximize their benefits, while the government seeks to fight for their own benefits. There's a fundamental difference between the two. I don't think the other party is sincere enough, and there might be trouble in our future cooperation. "
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded. "Yiwei is right. I'm also worried about this."
Lu Yiwei pursued, "Then why are we hanging on to one tree? Can't we look for other companies?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yiwei, there are some things that I can't tell you. Do you know the background of this company?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
"Don't think that it's just a small company. The real company behind it is the Hongtai Group." Lu Yiwei was shocked.
The Hongtai Group was one of the most famous enterprises in Xijiang Province. Everyone knew about it. The company's net profit last year was more than 2 billion yuan, which was equivalent to more than 20 times the financial revenue of Nanyang County. Its subsidiaries were involved in mining, real estate, manufacturing, and many other fields. Among them, the most famous was the aluminum company, which enjoyed a good reputation both at home and abroad. The group's president, Yang Tongyao, was a representative of the National People's Congress. He had been named "Outstanding Entrepreneur" for many years and was known as the "King of the Aluminum Industry." Even the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee were respectful to such a god-like figure, let alone the small Nanyang County. But the problem was, why would such a big company take a liking to a small company like Shuyang Coal Mine?
Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "You've seen the female boss today, right? She's young, but she's quite capable. As for her relationship with Yang Tongyao, we don't dare to say anything, but the higher-ups have already informed us that Shuyang Coal Mine must be transferred to Baikang Enterprise."
Lu Yiwei was a little confused because he had no idea about these things at all. Zhang Zhiyuan's rambling made him a little confused.
Seeing Lu Yiwei's reaction, Bai Yuxin said, "Yiwei, regarding this matter, because it's a secret, only County Zhang and I know about it. We even hid it from Mayor Su, so we didn't tell you. I'll talk to you privately later."
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "All in all, we have to fight for the benefits with all our might, but we can't offend the 'God of Fortune.' Yuxin, you'll be in charge of this matter. Yiwei, focus on the asset investigation of Shuyang Coal Mine, okay?"
Although Lu Yiwei was angry, he still swallowed it down.
Back at Shuyang Coal Mine, Bai Yuxin pulled Lu Yiwei to talk about the ins and outs of this matter. Baikang was a subsidiary of the Hongtai Group, and it was just established this year, and the legal person of the company was Li Chunni. Li Chunni had an inextricable relationship with the President of the Hongtai Group, Yang Tongyao, and with this relationship, everything became clear. Deputy Director Xu of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission had a good relationship with Yang Tongyao, and in a conversation, Yang Tongyao asked him to take care of Baikang, to which Deputy Director Xu agreed on the spot. Later on, when Deputy Director Xu found out that Shuyang Coal Mine was undergoing restructuring in Nanyang County, he looked for County Zhang and told him about this matter. This Bodhisattva must not be offended, so County Zhang agreed to this matter.
After listening to this complicated matter, Lu Yiwei roughly understood the reason and said, "So you're saying that no matter what, the final outcome is that Baikang will take over Shuyang Coal Mine?"
Bai Yuxin nodded and said, "You can put it that way, but the other party is too ruthless, and County Zhang is stuck in the middle. If County Zhang agreed to their request, it will surely cause public outrage. To put it mildly, they are selling the mineral resources, and to put it mildly, they are selling the country's assets, causing the loss of the country's assets. If this news gets out, people will think that County Zhang is getting kickbacks. But if they don't agree, they might offend Deputy Director Xu of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. You can imagine the consequences of offending him. So, this matter is very tricky and unexpected. "
"If that company did not interfere, County Zhang will open up the tender to save Shuyang Coal Mine, but the condition is that the County Government must hold 49% of the shares. Now that such a thing has happened, Mayor Zhang has to settle for the next best thing and reduce the county government's shares to 35%, but the other party is still greedy and wants to take over the Shuyang Coal Mine. Do you think Mayor Zhang will agree? "
"We are now facing a situation where we have to satisfy the other party and fight for our own interests. So, it's very difficult." Bai Yuxin slapped her forehead and leaned back on the sofa.
Lu Yiwei rarely sees Bai Yuxin worrying about work. Now, even he is feeling troubled, and it shows how difficult this matter is. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "County Mayor Bai, if you are not worried, can you let me handle this matter?"
Bai Yuxin sat up from the sofa. "What ideas do you have?"
Lu Yiwei does not want to expose his relationship with Li Chunni. He smiled. "I can try."
Currently, there is no solution to this matter, and Bai Yuxin said. "Alright. You can try, but don't force yourself. If it doesn't work, just let County Zhang handle it."
Lu Yiwei nodded.
After this, Bai Yuxin said. "Oh, Yiwei. The City Development Bank's Manager Guo had called me, and he had agreed to give you a 5 million RMB loan."
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei asked excitedly, "Really?"
Bai Yuxin said. "That day, you had performed well at the dinner table, and Manager Guo appreciates you. But this procedure is quite complicated, and you must be prepared. After this, remember to express your gratitude to Manager Guo. This is the least you can do. "
Lu Yiwei had never given a gift before, and he asked carefully. "County Mayor Bai, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Bai Yuxin said. "You have to handle this yourself. You can ask around. But when I was in the Finance Department, I heard that they take a percentage, and it is 10%."
Lu Yiwei was shocked. 10% is 500,000 RMB, but he pretended to be calm. "Alright. I know what to do."
Bai Yuxin changed the topic. "Yiwei, I am really worried for you. You have spent so much to get that piece of land back. Are you sure you can get it back?"
Lu Yiwei said, "County Mayor Bai, to tell you the truth, I also don't have much confidence. But that piece of land is located in the center of the county, and it's definitely a golden land. I feel that the value of that piece of land will be doubled in a few years."
Bai Yuxin admired Lu Yiwei's foresight. She patted his shoulder and said, "You're still young, and you're so bold. I don't have such courage if I were in your shoes. But you have a good idea, and do it well. But you must remember that you can't stand in front of the stage, and it will be a big problem if County Zhang is involved. "
Lu Yiwei said seriously, "I can assure you and County Zhang about this. I know the rules of the party, and I know the ways of the world."
Bai Yuxin nodded. "I'm confident in you after spending some time with you. I'll still say the same thing. Don't keep it to yourself. Just say it. I'll definitely help if I can. "
After talking about this, Lu Yiwei said, "County Mayor Bai, I took the time to meet that 'Demigod Xu' yesterday. I tried my best to persuade him. I'll go with you when you think of a suitable time."
Hearing that she was going to meet the old leader soon, Bai Yuxin muttered in her heart, "There's no rush. Let's go after we finish the restructuring of Shuyang Coal Mine."
The asset verification of Shuyang Coal Mine was still in progress. Lu Yiwei decided to meet this university classmate with a mission.
When he arrived at Jiangdong, Lu Yiwei found Sandao first. The renovation of the western restaurant was coming to an end, and Sandao was so busy that he didn't even have time to talk to him. Lu Yiwei originally planned to ask Sandao to ask Li Chunni out, but it seemed that it was not realistic. In desperation, he bit the bullet and went to Baikang Company.
According to the address provided, Lu Yiwei found Baikang Company after a few turns. The company's front was very small, with only three rooms, but it suddenly opened up after walking in. It was a double-jump structure, and it was transparent from north to south. Sunlight shone in through the transparent glass, making the entire floor full of vitality. In the middle of the courtyard was an irregular fish pond with a rockery in it, and a few goldfish were swimming happily in the water. Looking at the company's employees, they were leisurely drinking coffee and eating desserts by the window, enjoying themselves very much. This kind of life was what he had been pursuing, and it was enviable.
In contrast, his current life was rigid, rigid, depressing, and boring. There was not a trace of vitality, and there was not a trace of vitality. He had to be careful with his words and actions, afraid that he would be rejected if he offended someone. If he was not careful, he would be doomed eternally. Every day, the people around him were thinking about how to get promoted, scheming, and deceiving each other. They used all kinds of means to suppress each other, and thought of all kinds of ways to exclude each other. It was suffocating, and it was like hell on earth.
The officialdom had its own ecological environment, and this ecological environment had lasted for thousands of years. The officialdom of the Qin Dynasty was autocratic, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was peaceful, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was chaotic, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was very lively, and the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was seriously corrupted. Although some people tried to break through the fence, the final result ended in failure.
