A few days later.
Morning. Investment Promotion Agency.
When he reached the unit, it was 9.30 am. The moment he entered, he saw many people standing in the courtyard. Deputy Bureau Chief Sun Shuli, Office Director Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, Jiang Hailiang, and other than Lui Dafa. Almost all the leaders were there. Dong Xuebing looked at the back of the car and noticed there were a few brand new cars parked in the courtyard. There were three black Camrys and a blue Buick MPV. Dong Xuebing looked at the back of the cars, and he noticed the license plates were all there.
"Chief."
"Chief Dong."
"You are here?"
The few leaders who were looking at the cars turned to greet Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing smiled and walked over. "When did the cars arrive? Is it fast? "
"We had just settled the paperwork and sent them over." Sun Shuli did not put on a straight face today. "Haha … everyone is talking about testing the cars."
Luo Haiting continued. "Because we don't have enough cars, we had to settle the paperwork and arrived a few days earlier than expected."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Good. You are quite efficient."
Luo Haiting flattered him. "It's all your credit. If it weren't for you, who knows when the Finance Department would receive the funds. I just asked around, and I heard that we had received the funds. Many leaders had visited us, but the Finance Department only gave us 3 million RMB, and the other departments did not give us a single cent. Chief, you are the most influential person here."
Lin Pingping laughed. "What's there that can't be settled by our Bureau Chief?"
Jiang Hailiang also nodded his head and said yes.
All of them had heard about Dong Xuebing's glorious battle with the Finance Department. Within half an hour, the Finance Department was in chaos. Electrical appliances were damaged, documents were lost, and there was a power outage. A fire almost broke out, and they can't even carry out their normal work. Every time they think about this incident, they felt Ding Li was unlucky to meet Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing's nickname is not just for show.
Dong Xuebing points at them. "Haha … you all are flattering me. You all have improved a lot."
Luo Haiting said happily, "I'm not flattering you, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart." As she said that, she drew an arc with her finger and gracefully stroked her hair.
Jiang Hailiang glanced at her and shook his head with a smile.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Haha … alright … why are you all looking at me? Let's test the car. Oh right, leave a Camry for me to try. "
Everyone started driving excitedly after Dong Xuebing gave the order.
Today is an encouraging day for the Investment Promotion Agency. The funds had arrived, and the bonuses will be distributed the next day. Now, the reserved cars have arrived, and all the staff are excited. That's why they gathered downstairs during working hours. Dong Xuebing understood and did not say anything. After all, the Investment Promotion Agency had been poor for too long, and everyone should be happy. If Dong Xuebing still wants to talk about discipline, it will spoil the mood. Furthermore, Dong Xuebing is in a good mood. Zhao Xinglong had praised Dong Xuebing's performance over the phone, and Dong Xuebing is in a good mood.
He got into a Camry. Hmm, the interior was not bad, and the seats were comfortable.
Dong Xuebing rolled down the window and laughed. "Drive around for a few rounds to test the car's performance. If there are any problems, we still have to return to the factory."
Two of the Camrys are assigned to Business Section One and Business Section Two, and Lin Pingping and Jiang Hailiang got into the other two to test the cars.
Sun Shuli prefers grand cars and went straight to a Buick MPV.
Luo Haiting did not get a car and stood in the middle of the compound awkwardly.
Lin Pingping saw Luo Haiting and quickly alighted. "Director Luo, go ahead and test this car." Luo Haiting was very experienced and high-ranking. Her rank was the same as Sun Shuli's. The department leaders had all gotten into the cars, but Chief Luo was the only one who could do nothing. This was a little unreasonable. Besides, Chief Luo was the one who had been busy getting these cars.
Luo Haiting waved her hand and laughed. "No need. You go ahead. I also don't know how to drive."
"You will get used to it after driving. Me too. I seldom drive after I got my driving license." Zhang Pingping refused to let Luo Haiting go.
Seeing this, Dong Xuebing took out his car keys and threw them out of the car window. "Sister Luo …"
Luo Haiting quickly reaches out to catch the keys. She is not very athletic, and she is in her forties. She almost tripped. "Chief, this is …?"
Dong Xuebing pointed to his car with his chin. "You try driving a Mercedes."
"Oh … how can I do that?" Luo Haiting knew Dong Xuebing was trying to help her out.
"My Mercedes is too eye-catching, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection had been reporting me about it ever since I bought it." Dong Xuebing laughed. "In the future, I will try not to drive this Camry when I go out for work. I think this Camry is not bad. Hmmm … when I am not driving my Mercedes-Benz, I will give you the keys. Leave it in my office. When I go out for work, your office staff can use it.
Luo Haiting stopped being pretentious and said with a smile, "That … okay."
Jiang Hailiang looks at Luo Haiting enviously. In the future, most of the Mercedes MPV's time will be allocated to the Office. This car is more expensive than all the cars in the Investment Promotion Agency. Jiang Hailiang had seen Lin Pingping borrowing Chief Dong's car previously and had wanted to borrow it again. But now, he might need to inform Luo Haiting if he wants to borrow a Mercedes Benz again. Chief Dong treats Chief Luo well. Huh? Did Chief Luo seduce Dong Xuebing? No, Luo Haiting's child is not young anymore.
Everyone has a car, and there is no need to give way.
Sun Shuli was the first to drive out of the courtyard, and Jiang Hailiang followed closely behind. It could be seen that both of them had good driving skills and were very familiar with each other.
Lin Pingping and Luo Haiting are not as good.
Lin Pingping did not dare to drive too fast and drove around the compound.
Luo Haiting was even worse. She drove a few meters forward, reversed, drove a few meters back, and then stopped to step on the accelerator. Luo Haiting seemed to be scared from the way she drove. Dong Xuebing was not sure if this was her first time driving or she was afraid of damaging Dong Xuebing's car.
Dong Xuebing was overjoyed and ignored them. He drove the Camry out of the compound and felt good. Of course, this Camry is not comparable to his Mercedes MPV. After all, it is much more expensive. But it feels good. Dong Xuebing decided to drive this Camry to the County Government's meetings in the future. The higher his position is, the more attention he will get. He needs to be mindful of his image.
Slightly past 10 pm.
Investment Promotion Agency's top floor, small meeting room.
Dong Xuebing called everyone who had finished testing the cars over for a Bureau Chief's office meeting to discuss and summarize their achievements and problems during this period.
Lui Dafa is still the same as usual, drinking his tea quietly.
Sun Shuli reported to Dong Xuebing. He is used to getting deals independently, and he will let Section 2 handle the deals. After Sun Shuli finished, Jiang Hailiang took over and told him about Section 2's situation. During the few days when Dong Xuebing was not around, Section 2 had gotten a few million RMB deal. It was an old project from two years ago, and it was related to fruit processing. This project had been listed for two years, and there was finally an investor.
In the end, it is Lin Pingping's turn.
Lin Pingping said. "Section 1 had received four more deals this week, and the most promising one is the chicken manure processing project. Manager Peng had inspected it for a long time, and it should not be a big problem. We are still discussing the contract, and there are only a few terms left. Hmmm … this project is about 10 million RMB." Dong Xuebing had followed up on this project before. If he had not gotten in touch with Peng Kenong's son, this investment might have gone to Da Feng County.
Jiang Hailiang was getting frustrated and looked at Lin Pingping. In the past, the second subject had always been better than the first subject. But this year, the tables had turned. The first subject had overtaken the second subject, and Lin Pingping's results were much better than the second subject. Jiang Hailiang felt uncomfortable.
After listening to everyone's reports, Dong Xuebing nodded with satisfaction. The projects they had signed are worth about 30 million RMB. The progress might not be fast compared to the 500 million RMB target, but compared to the past few years, it is not bad. In the past, they will only get 30 million RMB deals in April or May. But this year, the progress is much faster. This is a good sign, and it is an affirmation of Dong Xuebing's work.
After giving a few words of encouragement, Dong Xuebing dismissed the meeting.
After the meeting, Dong Xuebing called Luo Haiting to his office.
Dong Xuebing sat on the sofa and gestured to Luo Haiting to sit down. "Director Luo, I had looked through the previous documents, and the County's finances are very tight now. It's not easy to get the funds, and I don't know if the County will approve it next time." Dong Xuebing was alarmed by the County's finances. He had promised the County an extra 1% commission, but this has nothing to do with the County's red tape. The County will only approve the commission, and Dong Xuebing can only think of other ways to get the rest of the money. "Our bureau had been relying on the County's finances in the past. Can you think of ways to generate income? "
Luo Haiting immediately shook her head. "The nature of our work … should not generate income. But … "
"But what?"
"Chief Meng had tried to get sponsors in the past. In other words, we are soliciting donations from investors."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "How effective is it?"
Luo Haiting smiled. "It's nothing much. A businessman from another province, who is close to Chief Meng, donated 20,000 RMB. After that, no one else sponsored us. Businessmen value profits, and they will not sponsor us for free. Of course, some people tried to sponsor us, but they have ulterior motives. They want to know more about the County through us, and they want us to give them more preferential policies. This … is against the rules."
"Oh …"
Dong Xuebing is having a headache. This time, he had passed the test, but what about the next time? Where can he get the money?
