Next morning.
Investment Promotion Agency.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's office phone rang.
It's Mayor Zhao Xinglong. "Chief Dong, how are you feeling?"
"Thank you, Mayor Zhao. I am fine now." Dong Xuebing knew Zhao Xinglong is talking about the alcohol.
"You … don't risk your life like this in the future. That's 1.5 liters of alcohol, and I almost had a heart attack when I saw you finish it. Haha." Zhao Xinglong is in a good mood. "But it's also because of your three bottles of Maotai that we can get the contract signed. I had reported to Mayor Xie, and she is very impressed with your performance. She also has high hopes for the Investment Promotion Agency in the future. I heard the staff in the Investment Promotion Agency is in high spirits these few days. That's the right attitude. "
"Thank you for your recognition. I will not let all the leaders down."
"Alright. I will count on you in the future. Do your best." Zhao Xinglong gave Dong Xuebing some encouragement.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing asked Guo Panwei to gather all the department heads for a meeting. But he did not go to the small meeting room. Instead, he went to his office.
A few minutes later, Sun Shuli, Lui Dafa, Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest arrived.
Dong Xuebing looks at them. "You all should know about this. Yesterday afternoon, our Investment Promotion Agency's pork processing plant project had signed the contract. The estimated investment is 20 million RMB, and the County Government had placed great importance on this project. Mayor Zhao had called me earlier to tell me about Mayor Xie and the County Government's recognition of our Investment Promotion Agency."
Luo Haiting heard this and immediately claps.
Clap … clap … clap … Lin Pingping, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest also applauded.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I want to commend Lin Pingping here. She had contributed a lot to this project, from tracking down to signing the contract."
Lin Pingping smiled embarrassedly.
Yesterday's incident had spread, and Jiang Hailiang knew Dong Xuebing had contributed a lot to this project. If it weren't for the three bottles of Maotai, Yan Tai County might not even get this project. Jiang Hailiang looked at Lin Pingping and felt jealous. He is also jealous of the 150,000 RMB bonus.
But Dong Xuebing had not gathered all the leaders here to praise the Business Section. Luo Haiting and Lui Dafa could tell Lui Dafa had nothing to do with this. Lui Dafa, on the other hand, looked at Deputy Bureau Chief Sun Shuli from the corner of her eyes. Luo Haiting knew Sun Shuli was not convinced by Dong Xuebing. Firstly, Dong Xuebing was too young, and secondly, he was not good at his job. But now, Dong Xuebing had gotten a 20 million RMB investment. This was more than the few million investment Sun Shuli had gotten. Also, Dong Xuebing had praised the First Section, and this was a warning to Sun Shuli. Everyone knew Sun Shuli was close to Jiang Hailiang, and he was biased towards the Second Section in the past.
Sun Shuli was expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
The meeting ended, and everyone left Chief Dong's office.
Jiang Hailiang looked at Lin Pingping and said, "Haha, Section Chief Lin, congratulations."
Lin Pingping smiled and said, "I heard that the two departments are also negotiating a big deal? I should be the one congratulating Section Chief Jiang. "
"Err … it is not confirmed yet." Jiang Hailiang waved his hand and chased after Sun Shuli.
Luo Haiting saw Sun Shuli did not even return to his office and called Jiang Hailiang downstairs. On the way, he made a phone call to meet the investors. Luo Haiting knew Old Sun is still not convinced by Dong Xuebing and wants to compete with him. Chief Dong is supporting Section 1, and he will support Section 2. Both of them are using these two departments to compete. But as an outsider, Luo Haiting can see further. She felt this is what Chief Dong wants. The more intense the competition, the higher the possibility of getting 500 million RMB.
Noon.
After lunch at the cafeteria, Dong Xuebing walked around the departments and was pleased by what he saw. The current Investment Promotion Agency is very different from last week. All the staff are working hard, and they are making calls to the investors. Not only the staff from the first and second sections, even the receptionists downstairs and the office staff upstairs are in high spirits.
Dong Xuebing returned to his office upstairs and lit a cigarette.
After Dong Xuebing took over the Investment Promotion Agency, there are no more problems. Dong Xuebing's focus should be shifted from the internal department to the external department. He will focus on getting investments. Dong Xuebing's priority is to complete the 500 million RMB target and do something for Yan Tai County and the people. He will also be promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief and marry Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan. That's why he must complete the 500 million target.
With this target, Dong Xuebing is no longer happy about the 20 million RMB contract yesterday. This is only the first step, and it is not enough. He still needs more funds to invest in Yan Tai County.
In the afternoon, Dong Xuebing called Lin Pingping to his office.
"Chief, are you looking for me?" Lin Pingping entered the office after closing the door.
Dong Xuebing asked. "How is the progress? Are there any new projects? "
Dong Xuebing asked. Lin Pingping had prepared some documents and passed it to Dong Xuebing. "After Lunar New Year, our Section One had approached four projects, and one of them is the pork processing factory. But other than this, there is no progress on the other projects. For example, the electric bicycle assembly line project. The investor had stated that they will be setting up the factory in Fen Zhou City, and the other projects are about the same. None of the investors are interested in Yan Tai County, and I am going to give up on those projects this afternoon."
Dong Xuebing looked at the documents. "Isn't it too early to give up on those projects?"
Lin Pingping blinked. "But even if we continue to chase after those projects, we might not get any results. Instead of using our resources on these projects, we might as well contact other investors. Hmmm … This is what I am thinking."
Dong Xuebing placed the documents on the table. "Casting a net? This is not wrong, but if I am an investor, I will also be hesitant when it comes to a project. After all, the money belongs to me, and I will be cautious with my investments. I might not show my intention to invest from the start. Didn't Manager Liang say this to me? So, I think we have to show some determination. When we meet a project or an investor, we have to have the belief that we must keep them and work with this belief. This way, we can let the investors feel that we value them. Even if they are not interested in investing, we have to fight for it. "
Lin Pingping thought for a while. "Then … I will try my best?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I know you don't agree with my proposal and think it is a waste of resources."
"No." Lin Pingping quickly replied.
"Actually, I also don't know if my proposal will work, but we must change our strategy. Let's treat this as crossing the river by feeling the stones." Dong Xuebing knew what Lin Pingping was thinking. "If we do not change our strategy and continue with the previous way, do you think we can complete the 500 million RMB target? Just the two of us. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Don't think that I'm full of confidence in front of everyone. In fact, I'm not confident at all. "
Lin Pingping smiled. Chief Dong had told her this to show his trust in her, and this warms her heart.
"That's why …" Dong Xuebing knocked on the table. "It's time to change our strategy. What do you think?"
Lin Pingping nodded. "Out of the three projects, two of them are out of the question. The investors are about to sign the contracts with other counties and cities. But the last one … hmm … there is still some hope. I will go and fight for it personally. I will try my best to convince them to stay with me."
Dong Xuebing laughed and nodded. "Alright. Tell me the details of this project, and I will join in if you have any projects in the future."
Lin Pingping was stunned. You are going to do business too?
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What's wrong? Are you questioning me? "
"No. Absolutely not." Lin Pingping smiled. "I feel if it's a few million or ten million RMB deal, you don't need to …"
"Why not? I am the Chief of the Investment Promotion Agency, and I need to take the lead. What's wrong with a few million RMB deal? Is it a small amount? " Dong Xuebing took a sip of tea and laughed. "Don't talk about a few million. I am looking forward to investing a few hundred thousand now. 500 million is not a small amount, and every investment is important. Many a little makes a mickle. Don't underestimate small investments."
Lin Pingping replied seriously. "Yes."
"Tell me more about this project."
"This is a project to treat chicken feces harmlessly. It's an energy saving project, and it will be built near a large chicken farm in the south of Yan Tai County. The project will treat 100 tons of chicken feces daily and produce 9,736 tons of animal feed annually. We are applying for the project and will need about 10 million RMB."
"This project is not small."
"Yes."
"Alright. You contact that investor in the afternoon, and we will have dinner together."
"Ok. I will get it done now."
After a few days of work, Dong Xuebing had gotten the feeling of being a leader. But sitting in the office all day is not his style. That's why he needs to get the 500 million RMB target personally. It doesn't matter if it's a few million or tens of millions. He will try his best to get investments!
