To speed up the signing of the contract, Ivanov gave Translator Xue another 20,000 USD and asked him to pass half of it to his brother to stall the Australians.
That afternoon, both parties continued to discuss the details of the contract. It was the same as in the morning. The negotiations went smoothly, and many people felt that it was not real.
In the past, no matter what they had discussed, the Russians were still arrogant and refused to lower their conditions. But today, the Russians had lowered their conditions by more than half. This was the reason why the negotiations were so successful.
All of them did not understand why. They thought it was because the Mayor had stepped in. Bing City also lowered their conditions, and the Russians finally gave in.
During the signing of the contract, Zhang Ruiqiang also appeared. He represented the City Government to sign the contract with Ivanov and stamped the official seal of the City Government! But Zhang Ruiqiang was not too happy.
Ivanov was feeling proud in his heart. He had almost gotten the Australians to sign the contract first. Luckily, they had spies. Just 100,000 USD was enough to achieve this result. This would bring in at least 1 million USD of rent for the country, and the country's farmland would not be abandoned. Most importantly, it could also boost the surrounding industries. For example, pesticides, fertilizers, etc., the Russians would be able to earn at least 10 million USD annually.
This amount of money was not a lot, but within the borders of these three districts, there would no longer be a scene of barren farmland. This was very good for the image of the leaders of these three districts. This was a solid political achievement. They had also negotiated some other cooperation with the Bing City Government. Although it was not worth a lot, it was significant. This meant that even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the relationship between Hua Xia and Russia was still developing well.
After Ivanov and his team left, the City Government held a small celebration. Those who had participated in this event were rewarded. But Feng Yu did not participate. He was not interested in this small amount of money. He just did not want to see the money go away.
Furthermore, the people who were celebrating were the City Government's officials. Feng Yu was not interested in celebrating with them. Feng Yu was bored of that song and dance performance. Furthermore, there was a pretty girl waiting for him at home.
After dinner, Feng Yu was hugging Li Na. When they were about to do something, they heard the sound of the door lock. They immediately sat up straight.
Feng Danying was surprised to see Li Na. He looked at the two of them suspiciously, then turned around and left, muttering, "I was wondering why I didn't see you after coming back for a few days and why you didn't come to my place to eat. So it turns out that someone is cooking for you."
Li Na was embarrassed. She pinched Feng Yu's arm a few times. "Why don't you say that your sister has the key too?"
"We are studying in Beijing, and my parents don't come over. Someone has to take care of this house. I didn't expect her to come over at this time. But as you can see, my sister really likes you. Come, let's not think too much. I'll carry you into the room. "
…
"Mayor, I intend to go to Beijing to ask for policies. This agreement is signed with this agricultural company. This means that not only Bing City, but other farmers in Longjiang province can also sign up. "
"Ok. I had reported this to the Governor. He will also send someone to follow you. This is not only Bing City's matter. It is also the whole Longjiang province's matter!" Bing City's Mayor was also the Governor's assistant. To him, signing this agreement was also a political achievement. He will have a higher chance of taking over the position of Party Secretary.
Knock, knock, knock ~ ~ ~
"Mayor, the Party Secretary wants you and Deputy Mayor Zhang to go to his office." The Mayor's secretary entered the office.
The Mayor and Zhang Ruiqiang looked at each other. They were confused. Didn't the Mayor just report to them in the morning? Why is he asking them to go to his office again?
When they reached the Party Secretary's office, they noticed there were 2 other people there. They were the Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary and Deputy Mayor Xu. What are they doing here?
"Come and have a seat. Old Xu, what do you want to say? You can speak now. " The Party Secretary was also surprised. Old Xu had just arrived at his office and said that he wanted to invite these few people over to discuss something important. He also does not know what it was about. But Old Xu was an old comrade in the City, and the Party Secretary gave him some face.
Deputy Mayor Xu looked at Zhang Ruiqiang and sneered. You are the one who did not keep your hands clean. Don't blame me!
"Deputy Mayor Zhang, I would like to ask you a question. Why was it so difficult for you to negotiate with the Russian side, and why was it so easy for the Mayor to settle the agreement in such a short time?"
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at the Mayor and turned to Deputy Mayor Xu: "Maybe the Mayor is more capable than me."
"Oh? Even if this is the truth, but you are the Executive Deputy Mayor. You should not be less capable than the Mayor. Is there something fishy going on here? "Deputy Mayor Xu pointed out. He also cannot say that Zhang Ruiqiang is more capable than the Mayor. This will make the Mayor unhappy.
Zhang Ruiqiang frowned: "Deputy Mayor Xu, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"You don't understand? Fine. Since you are so stubborn, then I will say it out loud. I will let everyone know about your scandal. Let me ask you. Did the translator from the Foreign Affairs Office, Xiao Xue, enter your office with a big bag a few days ago? "
"That's right."
"Then when he left, did he leave the bag behind? Is there money in the bag? "Deputy Mayor Xu sneered.
"There is money in the bag. What's wrong?" Zhang Ruiqiang asked back.
Deputy Mayor Xu's face showed a look of ecstasy, and he said sternly, "What's wrong? This is considered corruption and bribery. The government had ordered you to not do such things, and you still dare to go against them? You are not fit to be Bing City's Executive Deputy Mayor! "
Deputy Mayor Xu waited for the Party Secretary and the Mayor to slam the table in anger. He will ask the Commission for Discipline Inspection's Secretary to cooperate with the internal investigation and report to the Provincial Government to arrest Zhang Ruiqiang.
But after waiting for almost half a minute, the office was very quiet. What's going on? The Party Secretary and the Mayor are not angry about this? This is corruption, and Zhang Ruiqiang had admitted it himself!
If you all are too embarrassed to punish your former colleagues, you all can report to the Provincial Government. This time, based on my qualifications and the merit of my report, even if I'm not given the position of the executive deputy, I should be given the treatment of the main hall and become a real main hall, right?
Wait, why are these people looking at me like this, as if they are looking at … an idiot?
"Old Xu, I knew about this a long time ago. The money had been transferred to the Government's hospitality account. The Russians had asked the translator, Xiao Xue, to transfer the money to the City's hospitality account!"
Zhang Ruiqiang will not accept the money. He used the Russian delegation's name to transfer the money to the City's account. The Mayor and the Party Secretary knew about this.
"That's impossible. How can it be the accommodation and food expenses?" After saying that, Deputy Mayor Xu regretted it a little. But now, if he cannot bring Zhang Ruiqiang down, he will not have a good ending.
"Also, why did the Agriculture Company that signed the agreement with Russia let Feng Yu invest in it? Zhang Ruiqiang and Feng Yu are close to each other. Is there nothing wrong with this? "
Hahaha. Let's see how Zhang Ruiqiang will explain this!
The Mayor shook his head: "Old Xu, how can an old comrade like you believe in groundless rumors? I had reported to the Party Secretary about this Agriculture Company and discussed it during the Party Secretary's office meeting. Everyone agreed. The City does not have so much money, and General Manager Feng is willing to help. Also, General Manager Feng is the one who helped to get the Russian company's help. You are saying that we all have problems, and we are all related to that Feng Yu? "
Deputy Mayor Xu was dumbfounded. Even the Party Secretary and the Mayor are protecting Feng Yu? What kind of influence does Feng Yu have?
The Party Secretary looked at Deputy Mayor Xu: "You don't want to work and only think about getting promoted. You should see if you are worthy of this position. Old Xu, you have disappointed me! "
When Deputy Mayor Xu heard this, his legs turned to jelly. If the Mayor said this, then it meant that his political career had come to an end …
