After a short silence, Chen Xing said, "An Anding, how about this? You go back first and explain to the people of Huaqi. Comfort them first. I will find someone to understand the situation immediately."
"That's the only way." Liu Anding nodded. "Mayor Chen, I'll have to trouble you then."
"What are you talking about? As the mayor, I am also responsible for the development of Jiang Qi." Chen Xing smiled and waved his hand.
After sending Liu Anding away, Chen Xing thought for a while. He took out the address book in the drawer and found the phone number of Huang Zhenping, the director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. He picked up the office phone and dialed it.
The phone went through quickly. Chen Xing took the lead and introduced himself. "Director Huang, this is Chen Xing."
"Mayor Chen. Hello." Huang Zhenping, who was on the other end of the phone, had recognized the number as the insider of the Jiang City Municipal Government. Hearing Chen Xing's introduction, Huang Zhenping responded enthusiastically.
"Director Huang, about Jiang Qi, I want to know why the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission stopped the signing of the contract with Huaqi." Chen Xing asked directly.
"Mayor Chen, this is not the idea of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. It is the instruction of the higher-ups." Huang Zhenping smiled helplessly. He didn't know if Chen Xing was dissatisfied. He could only explain seriously. "Jiang Qi is a state-owned enterprise under the municipal government of Jiang City. How can we interfere with something that has been approved by the municipal government? It is Deputy Governor Zhao's instruction. That's why we did it."
"Deputy Governor Zhao's instruction?" Chen Xing raised his eyebrows.
Yes, Deputy Governor Zhao is in charge of state-owned enterprises, and he is also concerned about Jiangqi. Therefore, he hopes that Jiangqi can cooperate with Ford Group, which is one of the Fortune 500 companies in the world. This is also good for the long-term development of Jiangqi. Huang Zhenping smiled.
"Director Huang, what you said is right. But the key is whether we can reach cooperation with the Ford Group." Chen Xing rolled his eyes. "These people don't know the specific situation, so they take it for granted."
Mayor Chen, I heard that the Provincial Government is the middleman for Jiang Qi. It should be fine, right?
It's not up to us to decide if there are any problems. Ford has to be willing to cooperate with Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi is a foreign automobile manufacturer and a Fortune 500 company. Our orders are useless against them.
That's true. It's the era of market economy now. Huang Zhenping agreed.
Director Huang, that's all for now. I won't disturb your work any further. After Chen Xing knew who gave the order, he was not in the mood to talk more. The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was only responsible for passing the message. It was useless to talk to Huang Zhenping. If it was not for his identity, Huang Zhenping would not have bothered to deal with him.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing frowned. Since Zhao Conggang had given the order, it was probably Zhou Zhiming's idea. After all, the Ford Corporation was the middleman of the province, and it was said that Zhou Zhiming was the one behind it. It was understandable that Zhou Zhiming hoped that Jiangqi could finally cooperate with the Ford Corporation.
Sigh, this is really a headache. Chen Xing rubbed his temples. He was a little annoyed.
After sitting in the office for a long time, Chen Xing made a decision. He took out his phone and called Liu Anding.
Mayor, there's news? Liu Anding asked impatiently when the call went through.
There's news, but it's not good news. Chen Xing smiled helplessly. "An Ding, I think we have to make the decision ourselves. Let's extend the deadline for two more days. During these two days, you can try your best to contact the people of Ford Group. If they still can't give us a substantive answer after two days, we will sign the contract with Huaqi directly."
Mayor, the Provincial Government has no objections, right? Liu Anding asked.
The Provincial Government has their opinions, but we can't care so much about it. If we follow the instructions of some leaders, it might be like what you said. We will lose everything. We have worked hard for more than half a year, and we will be back to square one. Chen Xing pursed his lips. Jiangqi is under the jurisdiction of the City, so the City can make the decision. We have to respect the intentions of the Provincial Government, but we also have to consider the problem from the perspective of the actual situation. We don't have to blindly follow the instructions of the Provincial Government. When it's time to make a decision, we have to make a decision ourselves.
Okay, I'll do as you say, Mayor Chen. Liu Anding could tell that Chen Xing didn't want to listen to the Provincial Government. He didn't know which leader had given the order, but from Chen Xing's words, he could tell that Chen Xing wanted to act on his own. He didn't think that the Ford Corporation would give him a reply within two days.
Well, just do as I say. If there's anything, contact me immediately. Chen Xing nodded and said.
While talking with Liu Anding on the phone, Yu Zhiyuan gently pushed the door open and came in. Chen Xing glanced at him and said a few words to Liu Anding before hanging up the phone.
Mayor, there's a lady outside who wants to see you. She says she's your old friend. Yu Zhiyuan said.
My old friend? Chen Xing was confused. I have a lot of old friends. Didn't she say who she was?
She said she wanted to give you a surprise, Mayor Chen. Yu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. Initially, he didn't want to report such a situation, but he couldn't stop the other party's confidence. He was really afraid that the other party was acquainted with Chen Xing. If he chased the other party away, the other party would complain to Chen Xing later.
A surprise? Which old friend is she? Chen Xing showed a strange expression on his face. He thought it couldn't be He Li and the others. He hadn't seen them for a long time. It was possible that they came to Jiang City quietly.
"Is there only one person?" Chen Xing asked.
"Well, there's only one person." Yu Zhiyuan nodded.
Hearing that there was only one person, Chen Xing thought maybe He Li came alone. With He Li's character, it was possible that he would do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing said calmly, "Yu Zhiyuan, invite them in."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was lucky that he didn't drive them away. It seemed that Chen Xing had guessed who they were, which meant that they really had a close relationship with Chen Xing. It was lucky that he came in to report. If he drove them away rashly just now, it would be a big trouble.
Turning around and walking out, Yu Zhiyuan politely invited them into his office.
