"Mr. Mayor, we'll leave after one night. You're busy with work, so you really don't have to entertain us so late."
In the hotel's buffet restaurant, which should have been closed by now, it was delayed until one o 'clock at night for some unknown reason. Even the variety of food was twice as much as usual, and there were also many good wines that would definitely lose money if they were placed there.
Then, the two city leaders said that they were hungry and wanted to have some supper. They coaxed and pestered the inspection team from Monster Industries.
Hearing the team leader's tactful refusal, Guanyu City's mayor, Kang Yanliu, chuckled. "I'm not busy. Besides, I've always had a hobby of eating supper at night. I like to drink a few glasses of wine. "
"Come, come, come. This wine is our specialty here."
The team leader, Pan Xingxing, thought to himself that there was a row of soft green sugarcane in the buffet restaurant. You really put in a lot of effort.
If he continued to pretend, it would be too tiring. However, the other party was the mayor, so he had to give face.
Therefore, Pan Xingxing pretended to be very touched. After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Mayor Kang, your warm hospitality flatters us."
"It's just that Mayor Kang also knows that the specific location of our Monster Industries' project for this phase can only be decided by our president. Jiangnan Province does have a project target, and it's the kind with an airport runway. "
"But our inspection team really has no right to decide the ownership of the project."
Pan Xingxing's original intention was to say that he had run to the wrong relationship. If he had any connections, he could try to run to the president. It was useless to look for them.
"Look at what you're saying. Our Guanyu City's hospitality has been since ancient times. Since you're able to come to Guanyu City, of course, we have to uphold the ancient style and warmly welcome you. " Mayor Kang Yanliu was unhappy as if he was someone who thought he was. Then, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "Of course I know that such an important project can only be decided by Mr. President."
"But isn't the inspection team you lead to inspecting various cities and then making an evaluation report to compare the advantages and disadvantages of each city?"
Mayor Kang Yanliu grabbed Pan Xingxing's wrist affectionately, but in his heart, he thought to himself, If I knew your president, I wouldn't have come in the middle of the night. "Captain Pan, you said that the economic level of our Guanyu City is indeed a little bad. But the transportation and geographical location are good. Looking down from a high point, it's a flat expanse of land. To the north is Xuzhou, to the south is Jinling, and the Grand Canal runs through Jiangnan. "
"The most important thing is that everyone in Guanyu City has the hospitality of treating friends with sincerity."
"Then, our Guanyu City should also be one of the cities that the inspection team you lead planned to inspect, right?"
"Yes, yes!" What else could Pan Xingxing say?
Guanyu City was indeed under inspection, but it was just a formality. It wasn't just Guanyu City that didn't have an airport in Jiangnan Province. Even Jiangzhen didn't have one. In terms of the advantages of a city, Guan Yu City was far inferior to a town. Their next focus was in the north. It was not Xu Zhou, but Yixin City, which was not far from Xu Zhou.
That city shared a border with Lu Province, so the transportation was more convenient. At the same time, it was also a new industrial city and commercial city.
"Since it's on the list, as the mayor, I naturally have the obligation and responsibility to introduce the local customs and geography of Guan Yu City to your company's inspection team."
"…" Pan Xingxing was speechless.
…
The buffet lasted for more than an hour. It didn't end until twelve o 'clock in the morning.
The ones who still wanted more were naturally the two mayors of Guan Yu City. The two mayors walked Pan Xingxing all the way to the door of his room.
More than ten minutes later, the county head of Shangtang County, Xie Ruiwen, and the deputy county head secretly knocked on the door. Facing Pan Xingxing, who was about to wash up, the two county heads shamelessly said that they felt like old friends at first sight with Captain Pan. They wanted to go in and sit for a while to chat.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress a snake in its old haunts. Moreover, Pan Xingxing wasn't a strong dragon. He was a general manager or a president.
In addition, being able to make friends with the county head and the mayor was also very helpful in building connections. No matter how tired Pan Xingxing was, he couldn't chase the county head out with a smile.
He continued to be polite!
The two county heads were much more straightforward than the mayor. They asked Pan Xingxing to help pass a message to Mr. Ye. They said that although Shangtang County wasn't very competitive, if Mr. Ye could settle the transit center in Shangtang County. Not only would they not take a single cent from the land, but they would also give three years of tax exemption and preferential policies in terms of electricity.
If they were allowed to buy a new Zhou-60 at their own expense, Shangtang County would be able to show more sincerity.
The two county heads didn't care about the pressure given by the mayor. If they could get the transit center, they were willing to bear the pressure.
"County heads, I can help pass the message. However, I can only pass it on to the general manager of the Ministry of Construction. But don't worry, county heads. No matter who gets the project in the end, Monster Industries will build more similar projects in the future. "
"I think Shangtang County will have a chance to get these projects."
The two county heads looked at each other and wondered if the mayor had given more preferential policies before. That was basically impossible. Other than Shangtang County, who else would have the courage to do so?
It was obvious that Shangtang County had no chance. The two county heads didn't give up and were about to continue to persuade him when they suddenly received a call from the mayor saying that he had something to talk to him about.
The mayor was afraid that County Head Kang would do something in private. After all, Shangtang County was their territory.
The next morning, the two mayors didn't go to work and insisted on accompanying the inspection team to Guanyu City.
After sending off the mayor and the inspection team with incomparable grief, the two county heads no longer cared about their status. They were indignant at the mayor's behavior and said that the mayor had no other ability but to bully others. Originally, Guanyu City was already miserable enough, and now he wanted to take it all for himself. No wonder their economy was the worst in the province. After so many years, they couldn't even get a high-speed railway station.
Two days later, the Monster Industries inspection team left.
With this departure, the leaders of the entire Guanyu City and several subordinate counties were suddenly immersed in the uncomfortable feeling of not being able to do anything.
Because the inspection team stayed in Jiangzhen City for a full week, the project was still canceled in the end. Now, they had only stayed in Guanyu City for two days, and it was the result of the two mayors' efforts to persuade them to stay. It was obvious that they didn't intend to give Guanyu City a chance at all.
As expected, the Monster Industries inspection team left Guanyu City and went straight to Yixin City.
They didn't take the highway, but the provincial and town roads below. The meaning was very obvious.
Then, news came from Yixin City that made people feel incomparably desperate.
On the side of the Monster Industry, a deputy manager of the department was sent to Yixin City.
When Guanyu City was looking for acquaintances to inquire about the news, the Yixin City government told them with laughter louder than firecrackers that the Monster Industries project was stable and that they should quickly give up on that idea. Or hurry up and think about what kind of sincerity they could offer to move Yixin City and let Yixin City build this project closer to Guanyu City.
The two mayors of Guanyu City wished that they could lead a team to the Yixin City government's gate.
At the daily meeting of Shangtang County, County Head Xie Ruiwen found joy in the midst of bitterness. "Haha, it's good that the project is canceled. Our mayor came to our county overnight to intercept the card, but he intercepted a little husband. "
"Now no one needs to fight. Yixin City sits at home and doesn't need to do anything. The pie will obediently fall into their hands."
In order to welcome the Monster Industries inspection team, a group of leaders and directors of Shangtang County stayed up all night and felt uneasy for several nights. Now that it was completely hopeless, the daily meeting had become a complaining session.
"If you ask me, the leaders of Zhongyun City are still the best." The director of the Investment Promotion Bureau said enviously, "Look, Zhongyun City is only a few hundred kilometers away from us, but they have developed it."
"The country's urban GDP percentage growth is number one, the country's urban tax growth is number one, the country's urban production index growth is number one …"
"Countless number one, and the country's first transit center, the kind that directly leads to the headquarters."
"They don't even have to move a finger."
"Who told them to have Monster Industries?" The deputy county head sighed. "If we had Monster Industries, not to mention a transit center with a runway, President Tie and President Hang would have come to build us a high-speed rail airport long ago."
As they complained, these people began to fantasize about how good it would be if Monster Industries moved to Shangtang County.
There were also people who said that even if they didn't move to Shangtang County, it would be good to know the president of Monster Industries.
"Wait."
The director of the Education Bureau, Hua Dejiang, suddenly thought of something.
"It seems …"
"Yesterday, at our county's principal meeting, Principal Lu Jichang told me a joke. I didn't take it seriously at that time."
"What joke?" The deputy county head raised his head and asked casually.
"Principal Lu Jichang said that there was a physical education teacher in their school who was in the same school as the president of Monster Industries before graduation. They even played basketball a few times in their freshman and sophomore years."
"I didn't take it seriously at first, but in case …"
