Li Rui asked for Gu Yingtong's phone number so he can contact her when the County's Investment Promotion Agency car arrives. He said goodbye to the both of them and drove to Shuanghe City. On the way, he called the County's Investment Promotion Agency Chief Lin Lewen and asked him to send a car to pick up Gu Yingtong and Li Rui. After the call, Li Rui sent Gu Yingtong's phone number to Lin Lewen.
But this is only the beginning, and the next few days of training will be the highlight. In the car, Li Rui was thinking if he should participate in the next few days of training as a Deputy Mayor. Dong Xuebing wants to make use of this opportunity to learn more about investment promotion. This way, he will know what to do in the future. He also wants to use this opportunity to recruit an investor, and he can use this opportunity to increase his chances of success. That's why Dong Xuebing decided to attend the training on time. When the training starts, everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency will be more focused on learning from Dong Xuebing.
Back at Shuanghe County's government office, Li Rui rushed to his office. Seeing that there were no official matters to deal with, he called Ma Yuming and drove to the county's Bureau of Land and Resources. Two pieces of land were up for auction. One of them was the old campus left behind by the county's kindergarten after it was relocated. It was a cultural and recreational land with an area of more than 20 mu, and the starting price was 6,700,000 yuan. The other piece of land was located in the west of the city and was a residential land with a very large area of more than 500 mu. The total price was several times higher than Ji Chengsheng's 10 million yuan, so it was definitely out of the question.
Another piece of land was listed as industrial land. It was the bankrupt and abandoned machinery factory compound that Li Rui saw when he went to the economic development zone yesterday. To Li Rui's surprise, the total price of this piece of land was about 10 million. It was possible that it could be handed over to Ji Chengsheng to pay off his debt. But this brings up a new problem. Will Ji Chengsheng accept this plot of land as repayment?
Walking out of the Bureau of Land and Resources, Li Rui stood on the side of the road and called Ji Chengsheng. After the call connected, he told him about the matter. Finally, he said, "Think about it carefully. Whether you accept this debt repayment plan or not, I will definitely not force you to accept it. I will not force you, but you must consider that the County's Finance Department will not be able to fork out 10 million RMB to repay your debt. If you are worried about this, you should think about it. "
Ji Chengsheng smiled bitterly. "But why do I need an industrial plot of land? I am not running a factory! "
Li Rui sighed. "That's right. Also, that factory is located in the economic development zone. It's not a remote location, but the environment is desolate … If you don't want to consider it, then forget it. We will look for a better solution.... Anyway, I will help you get the money back."
Ji Chengsheng pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What if I take the land you mentioned, and then wait to sell or rent it to someone who needs it in the future? I don't lack 10 million RMB now. According to my observation over the years, the price of land has been rising steadily. The increase is even faster than the increase in GDP. In other words, if I buy this plot of land and wait for it to rise in value in the future, I will not lose money. What do you think? "
Li Rui smiled bitterly. "I am not sure about this. I only know that housing prices are rising every year. This may be one of the signs of the rising price of land. Theoretically, your idea is correct, but the economic development zone is a bit desolate. Even if I am determined to attract investment, I can't guarantee that the development zone will improve in the next two or three years. If it remains desolate and there are no companies or factories there, you will not be able to rent or sell your plot of land. You have to consider this point. "
Ji Chengsheng said, "Then I will think about it again. I will contact you when I think about it carefully. Thank you, County Magistrate Li, for putting in so much effort for my matter …"
Li Rui exchanged some pleasantries with him and hung up the phone. When he returned to the car, he heard Ma Yuming say, "You have to go back quickly. You have a meeting soon."
Li Rui nodded. There was a government meeting in the morning. The county magistrates who were at home had to attend if they were not in a hurry. The meeting was to summarize the work that had not been completed last year. The other thing was that the county magistrates would report the progress of their work in the previous quarter and the next quarter's work plan. As the new deputy county magistrate, Li Rui did not have much significance in attending this meeting. However, he could use this opportunity to see the other deputy county magistrates.
At 11 o 'clock in the morning, the meeting was held in the small conference room on the fourth floor of the government building. County Magistrate Chen Kui presided over the meeting. A total of six deputy county magistrates attended the meeting. One deputy county magistrate was not at home. The office directors who served the county magistrates were also present. Chen Kui's secretary was taking minutes of the meeting.
After the meeting started, Chen Kui once again introduced Li Rui, the new deputy county magistrate. On behalf of the county government, he expressed his welcome to Li Rui and called on everyone to support and help him in his work. Li Rui also made a simple speech, which won a round of warm applause.
The meeting then went back on track. County Magistrate Chen Kui first looked at his notebook and read out the work that he had completed last year. He also gave a simple explanation of the tasks that had not been completed.
Li Rui noticed that he had not completed all the tasks of 40 million RMB last year. He had only completed 36 million RMB. After the approval of the municipal leaders, the remaining 4 million RMB would be included in this year's task. This meant that he had to complete 44 million RMB this year. He was both surprised and amused. As a county magistrate, how could he not complete the task of 40 million RMB? Was it because he did not put his heart into it, or was the investment environment in the county so bad that it was unbearable to look at?
After Chen Kui finished his speech, Executive Deputy County Magistrate You Gongjie was the second to speak. Then it was the Deputy County Magistrate You Gongjie's turn … When it was Li Rui's turn, Chen Kui said that Li Rui had just arrived in the county, so he had nothing to say. He asked the deputy county magistrate behind Li Rui to speak … The county magistrates took turns to speak, and it was already an hour later when they finished speaking.
Li Rui was shocked to find out that none of the 6 Deputy County Magistrates had completed last year's task. Although Chen Kui had not completed the task, his completion rate was the best among the 6 Deputy County Magistrates. The other 4 Deputy County Magistrates, including You Gongjie, did not manage to attract a single cent. They had also said that they were severely criticized by the City and had to make up for last year's task. If not, they would be given a demerit.
After the report, Chen Kui and the rest of the County Magistrates started to complain. They were unhappy with the heavy task on their shoulders. One of them said, "I don't have time to go out to attract investors." Another one said, "My boss had ignored me the moment he heard our county was named Shuanghe County." A normal report meeting had turned into a complaining competition.
It was at this moment that Li Rui realized the importance of attracting investment at the county level. At least, it was one of the most important political tasks.
"County Magistrate Li, I heard that you are going to reform the Investment Promotion Agency. Does this mean you are going to attract more investors?"
After complaining, Chen Kui suddenly asked Li Rui this question. Everyone in the meeting immediately looked at Li Rui.
Li Ruixin was surprised that this Magistrate Li knew about the changes in the Investment Promotion Agency so quickly. Li Ruixin wondered if Lin Lewen had complained to him, or this Magistrate Li was observing him. If it was the latter, he must be careful. Li Ruixin did not hide anything and replied. "That's right. I am going to attract more investors. After all, I am in charge of attracting more investors. Is there anything you can teach me?"
Chen Kui grinned bitterly and helplessly. "I don't have anything to teach you. I just want to ask you, if you have the confidence and ability to attract investment, can you help me complete the task of attracting investment? We are all family, and I am not afraid of being laughed at. County Magistrate Li, if you can help me with my investment promotion mission, I will owe you a big favor. If you need my help in the future, I will not hesitate to help you. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tao, the Deputy County Head of the Standing Committee, shouted, "Count me in, Little County Head Li. Help me with the business promotion task as well. As long as you can solve it for me, I will listen to your orders in the future."
"County Magistrate Li, it doesn't matter if you have one more or one less. Count me in!"
"That's right. County Magistrate Li, count me in too. I am at my wits end. Look at me. I am still not able to attract more investors. Please take pity on me …"
"County Magistrate Li, help me too. I will repay you generously in the future!"
After Chen Kui took the lead, the other county magistrates followed suit. They were all excited, shouting and begging Li Rui. Those who did not know would think that Li Rui had stolen their wives. Only the Executive Deputy County Magistrate You Gongjie did not say anything. However, he stared at Li Rui with an embarrassed expression. He wanted to ask for help but was too embarrassed to do so.
Li Rui did not know whether to laugh or cry. Well, this was not a group of county magistrates, but a group of hungry wolves. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please calm down. If I have the ability, I will definitely help you. However, I am not sure if I have the ability. The investment promotion environment and business resources in the county are also there. I am not sure." After that, he asked Chen Kui, "County Magistrate, do I also have an investment promotion mission?"
Chen Kui was slightly stunned. Before he could answer, a deputy county magistrate behind Li Rui shouted, "You have a mission of 20 million yuan!"
Li Rui was puzzled. "Why is it so much? When I heard your report just now, you said that it was only 15 million, right? "
