Tuesday morning.
It's cloudy, and it's drizzling.
After accompanying Aunt Xuan in Beijing for two days, Dong Xuebing drove his Cayenne back to Yan Tai County.
On the way back, Dong Xuebing had purposely picked some difficult roads and even drove on a wet mountain road. But this Porsche did not embarrass Dong Xuebing. Even the bumpy roads are not as bumpy as the Mercedes MPV. The Porsche passed over many hills and puddles. As expected, you get what you pay for. Those who didn't spend any money didn't get it.
The drizzle stopped when Dong Xuebing was about to reach the County.
Dong Xuebing was thinking about his work while driving. He had been in the limelight for the past few days, and it's time to keep a low profile. But he still needs to attract investors. The Agency's investment quota is about 50 million RMB, and even with Park Yongxi's investment, it's only slightly over 100 million RMB. It's still far from the 500 million RMB quota. Dong Xuebing had settled all his work, and now, he only needs to think about how to reach his target.
This is his top priority.
But where can he get 300 million RMB?
It's almost Labor Day, and it will be 6, 17, and 1 soon. It's almost half a year, and he must be anxious.
Twenty minutes later, the Cayenne turned into the Investment Promotion Agency. It's lunch break, and many staff had left the office building for the cafeteria. Most of the staff did not notice the Porsche and thought it is an investor. But a few sharp-eyed staff noticed the Porsche's plate number. Eh? Beginning of the capital 9999? Isn't this Chief Dong's plate number?
Dong Xuebing alighted with his bag after opening the door.
Many people were stunned.
Luo Haiting and Lin Pingping, who had just walked out of the building, saw Dong Xuebing and quickly walked over. "Chief, you … changed your car?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "This MPV's off-road performance is not as good, and some roads are not smooth."
As Luo Haiting interacted with Dong Xuebing, she knew he is easy to talk to. She is not so serious when she sees him. "Is this a Cayenne? It's so beautiful. I saw this car at an auto show when I went to the city for work, but it was last year's model. " An ordinary Cayenne was about one million, which was about the same price as a Mercedes-Benz MPV. However, the Cayenne in front of him was a top-notch one just by looking at the wheel hub. It was at least 2.5 million.
A new car every year? You don't even want a Mercedes-Benz?
Chief Dong is the one who is rich. Luo Haiting and Lin Pingping sighed.
But Dong Xuebing does not want to talk about the car. He laughed. "Director Luo, Xiao Lin, come to my office after lunch. I have something to discuss with you."
Luo Haiting saw Chief Dong does not want to eat and said. "Then I …"
"You guys eat first." Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Food is the most important thing. It's my fault for delaying your dinner. Haha … let's talk after dinner."
"Sigh."
Dong Xuebing is not hungry, and he returned to his office.
Many staff members were looking at Dong Xuebing's black Porsche enviously. After Mercedes-Benz, it's a Porsche. All of them knew Chief Dong had won a few million in the lottery, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection cannot find fault with him. Also, Chief Dong can maintain a high profile for many years because of his capabilities. Chief Dong can solve any problems and rescue anyone. No one in the County can compare to Chief Dong. That's why even when Chief Dong is more aggressive sometimes, the leaders will close one eye.
Chief's office.
Dong Xuebing entered the office and saw Guo Panwei brewing tea. He must have seen Dong Xuebing coming back from upstairs.
"Panwei." Dong Xuebing smiled. "Let's go for lunch first."
"It's fine. I am not hungry." Guo Panwei poured Dong Xuebing a cup of tea and took out Dong Xuebing's work documents for the past two days.
"Alright. You must eat even if you are not hungry. You will be busy when you are back."
"Ok. Call me if you need anything."
Dong Xuebing is in a good mood. "Eat more. I noticed you had lost weight recently. Are you not used to the climate here? Go to the hospital for a check-up. Your health is more important. "
Guo Panwei was touched by Dong Xuebing's words. He had slimmed down, and it's because he is not used to working in this new environment. But Dong Xuebing can tell it is not a problem. This shows Chief Dong had been paying attention to him and values him.
After Guo Panwei left, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette.
Knock … knock … someone knocked on the door.
Luo Haiting pushed the door open and entered the house. She was dressed in a sky-blue dress and looked very glamorous.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Sister Luo, didn't I ask you to have lunch first?"
Luo Haiting smiled at him and walked over with two lunchboxes. "I saw that you haven't eaten yet, so I took the liberty to order an extra portion. I don't know …" She put a lunchbox on the table. Luo Haiting had also prepared a pair of chopsticks. She gently placed them on top of the lunchbox like a good wife and loving mother.
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. "You also have not eaten?"
"Yes." Luo Haiting took the other lunchbox. "I will eat in my office."
Dong Xuebing accepted Luo Haiting's kindness and waved his hand. "Why are you going back? Have a seat. Let's eat together. I was not hungry when I was downstairs, but now, my stomach is growling. Haha … Thank you, Sister Luo. Let's talk while we eat."
Luo Haiting did not reject and sat opposite Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing opened the lunchbox, and the aroma of the food entered his nostrils. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. "Hmmm … the food in the bureau is good recently. Is it for the staff?"
"No." Luo Haiting quickly replied. Luo Haiting hurriedly said, "Everyone has the same dishes. I saw that the bureau's work is progressing well, so I asked the canteen to add a few more dishes."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "That's good. You can eat anything but not your stomach. Eh, you should eat too. Why are you watching me eat alone?"
"Okay." Luo Haiting picked up her chopsticks in a very feminine manner and started to eat in small bites.
Dong Xuebing asked as he ate. "Are there any new projects recently?"
"I don't think there are any signed projects. But there is a project with a letter of intent, and it is still pending."
"The project that has been finalized is only 50 million RMB. Although it is better than last year and the year before, it is still not good. This time, our target is 500 million RMB." Dong Xuebing swallowed a mouthful of spinach and looked up. "Director Luo, you are an old comrade in the Investment Promotion Agency. Do you have any suggestions? Just mention it. "
Luo Haiting did not dare to reject Dong Xuebing's suggestion. "I have been working in the office, and when it comes to investments …"
"Anything is fine. Just say it."
This is not a good question, and Luo Haiting hesitated for a while. She is afraid Dong Xuebing's suggestions will not be in line with his previous meetings, and the leaders might have a problem with her. Also, it is a taboo to show off in front of the leaders. She said carefully. "Actually, most of the Counties that are doing well in attracting investments had relied on investment fairs to attract funds. For example, Da Feng County had attracted 200 million RMB from last year's investment fair, and this year's target should be about the same."
Dong Xuebing thought for a while. "Investment fair? Was it held last year? "
Luo Haiting smiled. "No. It had not been held since the year before. It's mainly because our County's economy is not doing well, and not many investors are willing to participate."
Investment fair.
When Dong Xuebing went to Da Feng County, he had seen the situation there and felt it is worth learning from.
Dong Xuebing said. "Director Luo, after lunch, can you give me a copy of our County's investment fairs in detail?"
"Ok. I will help you sort out the other Counties' information."
"Ok. Take as many as you have, and I will go through them later."
At this time, Lin Pingping knocked on the door and entered. She saw Luo Haiting and Dong Xuebing eating face to face and was surprised. Director Luo might be dressed up and do nothing in the office, but her eyesight is better than anyone else. Lin Pingping was wondering why Luo Haiting left so early, and it turns out she had gone to get food for Chief Dong.
"Chief, Director." Lin Pingping closed the door.
Dong Xuebing points to the sofa. "You are here at the right time. Have a seat. I am discussing the investment fair with Director Luo. What do you think?"
"Investment fair?" Lin Pingping replied. "Err …"
"Tell me about it."
Faced with a similar question, Lin Pingping's first reaction was obviously different from Luo Haiting's. Luo Haiting wasn't a very motivated person. As long as she didn't make any mistakes, she would be satisfied. Therefore, everything she did and said conformed to the norm. This was also the way of most officials. But Lin Pingping is still young and wants to leave a better impression on the leaders. That's why she wants to express her opinion.
She said. "Although the County stopped holding investment fairs two years ago and only approved a few small-scale project fairs, I think we should still hold the investment fair. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it will be good for our County's economic development. This is something that cannot be compared to project fairs."
Lin Pingping continued to talk about this for a while and showed a positive attitude.
Project introductions fairs are targeted and will cover a smaller area. They will focus on the projects themselves and will not have much of an impact on Yan Tai County's economy. But investment fairs are different. Although the past few investment fairs were not successful, and the amount of contracts signed is lower than the small-scale project introductions, it will cover a large area. The long-term significance of an investment fair cannot be judged by the amount of contracts signed.
Dong Xuebing nodded after listening to Lin Pingping. He now knows why his previous investment fairs failed.
