Afternoon.
Investment Promotion Agency.
Dong Xuebing returned to his office with the Investment Promotion Agency's task list. He frowned and does not know what to say to the rest of the departments. Actually, after the County Government's meeting ended in the afternoon, some well-informed people knew the Investment Promotion Agency had been given a target of 500 million RMB. Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency is in an uproar. 500 million RMB is more than three times last year's target. Everyone in the Agency started complaining about this, and it's a mess.
Knock … knock … knock …
Dong Xuebing returned to his office, and someone knocked on his door.
Business Section One's Chief Lin Pingping barged in angrily. "Chief, I heard the County Government had given us a target of 500 million RMB? This is equivalent to killing our Agency! "
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Have a seat first."
Lin Pingping did not sit down and is agitated. "500 million RMB is not something we can do easily. If we want to increase the target, we must do it step by step. How are we going to work if we increase the target by so many times? Chief, everyone in the Business Section is furious. What is the County trying to do? They are not trying to motivate us! I can only see that the mood of the comrades has been greatly affected. The enthusiasm they had at the beginning of the year is now gone. If this continues, not to mention 500 million, I think we won't even be able to keep the 200 million from last year. Everyone's enthusiasm has been extinguished by this bucket of cold water! "
Dong Xuebing looks at Lin Pingping. Excluding himself, Lin Pingping is the youngest staff in the Investment Promotion Agency. She is in her late twenties and is still single. Dong Xuebing knew she is a capable woman and is good at manipulating investors. If not, she will not be promoted to a Section Chief at such a young age. Last year, under Lin Pingping's leadership, Business Section One had attracted 60 million RMB. She is a capable and beautiful woman.
Lin Pingping saw Dong Xuebing keeping quiet and said. "Chief …"
Dong Xuebing nodded and did not reply. "Panwei, inform Chief Sun, Chief Lu, and all the department heads to my office for a meeting."
Guo Panwei immediately goes to carry out the orders.
Dong Xuebing continued. "Section Chief Lin, have a seat. We will talk when they arrive."
Lin Pingping looked at Dong Xuebing and took a seat on the sofa.
After a while, Business Section Two's Chief Jiang Hailiang knocked on the door and entered. Jiang Hailiang is a young staff in his early thirties and is only slightly older than Lin Pingping. Dong Xuebing gestured to Jiang Hailiang to sit on the sofa. Jiang Hailiang's expression didn't look too good either. It was obvious that he had to fulfill the quota given by the county. He glanced at Lin Pingping and sat on the sofa a meter away from her.
Dong Xuebing knew Lin Pingping and Jiang Hailiang might be joking around in front of others, but they are not on good terms. One is from Business Section One, and the other is from Business Section Two. The Investment Promotion Agency had set up two business departments to stimulate this healthy competition. Business Section Two wants to use this opportunity to increase everyone's performance. Dong Xuebing knew Business Section Two's results had always been better than Lin Pingping. Last year, Business Section Two had attracted more than 100 million RMB. This is almost double of Business Section One. This is because of Deputy Bureau Chief Sun Shuli. Because Jiang Hailiang and Sun Shuli are close, Sun Shuli will let Business Section Two handle all the follow-up work and discussions. That's why Business Section Two can outperform Business Section One in terms of investments every year.
About ten minutes later, Office Director Luo Haiting, Lui Dafa, and Sun Shuli arrived.
Sun Shuli was the last to arrive. He was having lunch with an investor at a nearby restaurant and rushed back after receiving a call. He smelled of alcohol, but he is not drunk.
Dong Xuebing looked at Sun Shuli, who arrived ten minutes later than the rest. He knew Sun Shuli is still unhappy with him, but Dong Xuebing will not blame him for arriving late or drinking during working hours. This is how the Investment Promotion Agency works. "Alright. Everyone is here. I think everyone should know about the 500 million RMB target issued by the County Government. Let's have a talk."
Lui Dafa looked down and did not express his opinion at all.
Luo Haiting spoke first. "Chief, is the target of 500 million RMB too much?"
Jiang Hailiang is furious. "It's not just too much. The County does not understand the situation. Who doesn't want to attract a few hundred million RMB? We also want to, but there are some things that can't be done just because we want to. Chief, I asked my subordinates to print out a report from the Second Section for last year at noon. You can take a look, last year's results are already the highest in the past few years, but you still give us such a burden, and it's even several times more. Isn't this making things difficult for us? "
Sun Shuli replied emotionlessly. "Even with the County's full support, it is impossible to achieve 500 million RMB." Sun Shuli had been in the Investment Promotion Agency for many years, and he has the right to speak. "I am not trying to dampen everyone's morale. I am just stating the facts. I had seen the Investment Promotion Agency's success over the years, and I believe this will not slow down. Yan Tai County will become more attractive to investors in the future. But it is not realistic to achieve everything in one go."
Jiang Hailiang suppressed his anger. "Also, if we cannot achieve this target, we will be held accountable. This is forcing us to do something beyond our capabilities."
Everyone is grumbling because they will be held accountable.
Lin Pingping added. "Chief, can we report this to the higher-ups?"
Dong Xuebing took a sip of his tea. "I had reported this to the County Government this morning. This is the decision made by the Party Committee, and it will not change."
"But 500 million RMB …"
Everyone started grumbling.
Dong Xuebing did not say a word and listened to everyone's grumbling.
After a few minutes, Dong Xuebing saw everyone is tired and looks at them. "I know all of you are unhappy, and you can tell me if you are unhappy. But the 500 million RMB target is set, and no one can change it. That's why I hope all of you will not be like this after you leave this office. You are all department leaders, and your emotions will affect your subordinates."
Jiang Hailiang held back his anger. "But this mission …"
"This mission must be completed!" Dong Xuebing pulled a long face. "If anyone thinks he is not capable enough to lead his department to get this 500 million RMB target! Give me your resignation letter now! Pack up and get lost! Give up your position to those who are confident and capable! "
Luo Haiting, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest were shocked.
Dong Xuebing had been in the Investment Promotion Agency for so many days, and he had maintained a friendly image in front of his subordinates. He will smile at everyone and is very approachable. But today, Dong Xuebing changed back to his previous attitude in the Public Security Bureau. Dong Xuebing suddenly realized that hiding a dagger behind a smile is not suitable for him. This kind of 'unreasonable' working style allows him to handle matters easily.
Dong Xuebing looks at Guo Panwei. "Bring me a pen and paper!"
Guo Panwei was also shocked by Dong Xuebing's attitude and quickly brought over a pen and paper.
Dong Xuebing points to the table. "I will give everyone five minutes to submit their resignation letters to me if they are not confident and unable to complete the County's target. The pen and paper are here, and I will sign it. After you resign, I will report to the higher-ups and arrange for you to be transferred to other departments." Dong Xuebing paused for a second and continued in a strict tone. "But if you do not want to submit a resignation letter, I will take it as you are confident in your work. In the future, you all must work harder! Whoever dares to complain in front of their subordinates! Whoever dares to drag the Investment Promotion Agency down! I will deal with them first! "
No one dared to say a word.
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and closed his eyes to wait.
One minute …
Three minutes …
Five minutes …
"Time's up." Dong Xuebing opens his eyes and looks at them. "Since no one is writing, I can take it as no one is resigning."
At this point, Lin Pingping had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Chief, Business Section One will do our best to attract investors this year. When I go back, I will do my best to motivate everyone. I promise …" She gritted her teeth, "I promise to cooperate with the bureau to get the 500 million yuan mission!"
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Pingping. He nodded. "Ok!"
Jiang Hailiang looked at Lin Pingping and frowned. "Business Section Two will do our best to complete this year's target." Jiang Hailiang was not as confident as Lin Pingping.
Luo Haiting's office representative also said that they will do their best to complete this year's target.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I will also tell all of you that this 500 million RMB target is not to do our best. We must complete it. I had promised Mayor Xie that if the target is not 500 million RMB next year, I will submit my resignation letter the next day."
Lin Pingping, Luo Haiting, and the rest were stunned. Dong Xuebing nodded.
Dong Xuebing continued. "I am telling all of you this is to let you all know that I am not someone who will take the blame if I fail to complete the mission. I am not the kind of person who will sit here peacefully. If I fail to complete the mission, I will be the one to bear the responsibility. All of you will be the same. That's why we should not be thinking about what if we fail to complete the mission. We should be thinking about how to get this 500 million RMB!" He banged the table. "I still stand by what I said! The other Counties can do it! Why can't we do it? I don't believe our Investment Promotion Agency is worse than the others! I will let the County leaders and the other Counties know … our Investment Promotion Agency is also capable! "
