For the past two days, Lu Yiwei had been thinking about attracting investors. When he recalled that Hongda Group was going to invest in a pharmaceutical factory in Xijiang Province, he immediately called Chen Zhongqi, the general manager of Violet Company.
Chen Zhongqi was surprised when he received Lu Yiwei's call. "Director Lu, you're just going to leave me in Black Mountain County?"
Lu Yiwei said helplessly, "Director Chen, I'm really sorry. I'm in the government, and I can't help myself. I also want to see your company grow, but I can't control the organization's affairs. So, please forgive me."
"I'm just joking. Don't overthink it." Chen Zhongqi changed the topic. "What's the matter?"
"I want to see you."
Chen Zhongqi said, "Alright, I want to see you too. I'll contact you when I arrive in Jiangdong."
At three in the afternoon, Lu Yiwei went to the airport to pick Chen Zhongqi up. "Director Lu, what are you doing? There's no need to do this, right?"
Lu Yiwei laughed. "You're a guest. As the host, I have to do my best. Come, get in the car!"
The car arrived at the teahouse that Lu Yiwei frequented, and the two of them went upstairs.
Chen Zhongqi said, "Director Lu, look at you. You just left and left me alone in Black Mountain County. I don't even know what to do."
Lu Yiwei added, "It doesn't matter if I'm in Black Mountain County or not. Didn't you always say that businessmen's goal is to maximize profits? As long as they can make money, they don't care who's there. I don't think the people in charge will deliberately make things difficult for me, right? "
Chen Zhongqi smiled bitterly. "Don't mention it. You've made me miserable. The newly appointed County party committee secretary immediately overturned your idea of development. He thinks it's just a small amount of money and doesn't care about it at all. On the other hand, Mayor Wu Shixun is more supportive. But if the leader doesn't support it, it won't work. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei felt a chill in his heart. This was originally a good thing that would benefit the county and the people. Why couldn't they think for the people? He said apologetically, "Mr. Chen, I was the one who brought you here to invest in Black Mountain County. I'm sorry that things have turned out like this. I'm really sorry." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Chen Zhongqi.
When Chen Zhongqi saw this, he immediately stopped him and said, "Director Lu, what are you doing? We're all brothers, why are you treating me like an outsider? I'm not blaming you. It was my own decision to go to Black Mountain County. It had nothing to do with you. "
Lu Yiwei asked tentatively, "What's your next step, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Zhongqi stirred the coffee in his hand and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm here to deal with the aftermath. After careful consideration, the board of directors has decided to withdraw the project from Black Mountain County. "
"What?" Lu Yiwei's eyes widened. "You're leaving?"
"Don't be so agitated!" Chen Zhongqi explained, "Withdrawing doesn't mean that we won't do it anymore. It's a strategic retreat. The company has withdrawn from the local area, but we haven't withdrawn our investment. We're planning to change our original investment to a partnership. We'll contract the company to the local people, who will be responsible for the operation and provide us with raw materials on a regular basis. It's actually the same, just in a different form. "
Lu Yiwei did not know what to say. He was unwilling to see a project that he had nurtured slip away right in front of his eyes. However, he was far away in River East. How could he influence the development of Black Mountain County? A new ruler brings a new generation of ministers. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
In fact, when Pansy Apparel Company first invested in Black Mountain County, it was all Xia Jinhe's plan behind the scenes. From the beginning, she knew that the project would not make money, but she still did it. Why? Everything was for Lu Yiwei. In order to help Lu Yiwei, Xia Jinhe did not hesitate to offend the board of directors and went against the majority's opinion to invest in the project.
Now that Lu Yiwei had left Black Mountain County, there was no point in continuing. Moreover, the county did not support it, and the city did not pay attention to it. It was better to stop as soon as possible. Because of this, Xia Jinhe submitted a letter of reflection to the board of directors and was willing to take responsibility for the investment mistake. Fortunately, the chairman of the group, Rong Hongsen, sided with her and did not pursue the matter further.
Subsequently, the group made a decision to withdraw Pansy Silkworm Rearing Company from Black Mountain County. Nearly 10 million was gone just like that. For ordinary people, this was a huge sum of money. But for Hongda Group, it was not even worth mentioning. The value that Xia Jinhe had created was far more than this amount. It was a risky investment to begin with, so he should be prepared for it.
"What do you plan to do in the future?" Lu Yiwei asked.
Chen Zhongqi took a sip of coffee and said, "I'll return to the headquarters and continue doing my old business. What did you want to talk to me about? Don't tell me you want me to invest in your high-tech zone again? Let's make a deal. I can't do it this time. "
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't mean it that way. But if you're willing to invest in my high-tech zone, I will definitely welcome you with both hands. Oh, right. Didn't you say that you want to expand into the northern market? How about setting up your production in my high-tech zone? "
"Alright!" Chen Zhongqi immediately waved his hand and said, "You said that you're an official, but I can see that you're smarter than a businessman. Expanding into the northern market is indeed the company's future direction, but we're a high-end brand, and there's no market in your Xijiang Province. It's not that I'm looking down on you, but that's the case. Our sights are set on Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. Even if we want to invest in a factory, we won't consider Xijiang Province. I'm sorry. "
Lu Yiwei wasn't unhappy and said, "Although I've never been in a business before, I can understand. I won't force you guys. I'm not here to talk to you about this matter, but something else. "
Chen Zhongqi immediately understood and said, "You're talking about the Hongda Group's investment in a pharmaceutical factory in Xijiang Province?"
"That's right!" Lu Yiwei said, "That's right. Some time ago, I saw on TV that your company's CEO came to Xijiang Province for an inspection and even signed a cooperation agreement. Can you tell me the details? "
Chen Zhongqi knew the ins and outs of this matter and said, "Director Lu, the company does have this intention, but the premise is that we have to acquire your Xijiang Province's pharmaceutical factory. However, your local government doesn't seem to be willing, so this matter has been temporarily put aside. As for when we can reopen the negotiations, I'm not sure. "
"Then, is your company's intention strong?" Lu Yiwei asked.
"This …" Chen Zhongqi fell into deep thought and said, "I'm not sure about this, but since our Chairman Rong has personally come forward, then his intention should be strong."
Lu Yiwei did not want this huge deal to slip away, so he said, "Director Chen, I would like to meet your Chairman Rong. Can you arrange it?"
Chen Zhongqi raised his head and said, "Director Lu, I would like to help you with this, but I'm powerless. You must know that our Chairman Rong is usually in Hong Kong, and I can't even meet him a few times in a year. Moreover, we are a subsidiary company of the company, and we have a special deputy chairman in charge. Usually, we only report to each other, so I can't help you with this. "
Lu Yiwei was unwilling to give up and said, "Then, when will your chairman come to the company?"
"I'm not sure about this."
After finishing his cup of tea, Lu Yiwei took a step back and said, "How about this, let me meet your deputy chairman. Is that okay?"
"This …" Chen Zhongqi said awkwardly, "Do you really want to meet him?"
"Of course, I sincerely hope that this cooperation can be facilitated. If you are really interested, I'll think of a way to solve the rest, "Lu Yiwei said excitedly.
Chen Zhongqi thought for a long time and said, "How about this, I'll go back and ask for instructions, and then I'll call you, okay?"
"Thank you very much."
Will Xia Jinhe meet Lu Yiwei? Chen Zhongqi was not sure.
In the evening, Lu Yiwei booked a table at Donghu Art Gallery and invited Chen Zhongqi to a banquet. While they were chatting in full swing, his phone rang. Seeing that it was from the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Tan Zhenhua, he walked out of the door and answered, "What's up?"
Tan Zhenhua said excitedly, "Director Lu, Liang Guodong has taken the bait. He is now eating at the house of the woman in Horse Head Village. I've sent two groups of policemen to keep watch. "
Lu Yiwei was not interested in this matter and said, "Director Tan, it's better to be careful. Don't let others get hold of you. Also, you don't need to report this matter to me. I don't know anything. "
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei was worried for Tan Zhenhua. If there were any loopholes in this matter, wouldn't Zhao Jialin retaliate crazily when he comes back? He was an upright and aboveboard person. It was not his style to scoff at these shady conspiracies. But getting rid of Liang Guodong was a good thing for him.
Chen Zhongqi seemed to have drunk a little too much. He pulled Lu Yiwei and said, "Director Lu, let me ask you, do you have a woman you like? I'm not talking about your wife, but the one in your heart. "
Lu Yiwei shook his head and said, "No, I'm still a loyal person to my marriage. You can say that I'm conservative, but that's not the case. Since I'm married, I won't think about other women. "
"Really? I don't believe it. "
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe it."
"What if there are other women still thinking about you?"
When Chen Zhongqi asked this, Lu Yiwei was stunned. He immediately thought of Xia Jinhe.
Xia Jinhe had always been a pain in his heart. It could be said that he had paid a lot for Xia Jinhe, but he couldn't accept that she suddenly left without saying goodbye. But where was she now?
Lu Yiwei changed the topic and said, "Director Chen, you drank too much. I'll send you back to the hotel to rest."
Chen Zhongqi suddenly woke up. He had almost let it slip. When they returned to the hotel, he said before leaving, "Director Lu, I know that you still have a place in your heart for other women. I'm the same. I also have a place for her, even more than you."
When he heard this inexplicable words, Lu Yiwei said, "Director Chen, you should rest early. We'll talk another day."
On the way back, Lu Yiwei couldn't calm his heart. He drove the car to the edge of East Lake, got out of the car and smoked. Looking at the undulating lake, the scenes of him with Xia Jinhe appeared in his mind.
