With a fake smile, Su Tao replied, "Sure, then I'll wait for you to finish before I object."
Fang Qingyun and Bo Yubing could clearly sense his hostility towards Li Rui, so they both swept a glance at him.
Li Rui continued, "Mr. Wang's second point is even more ridiculous. It's indeed impossible to predict what will happen in the future. Since it's impossible to predict, then what's the point of talking about it? Don't tell me that if we leave the scenic spot to the county, there won't be any risks? As for Ms. Jiang taking too long to acquire it, which of the current scenic spots in the country doesn't take twenty to thirty years? Without such a long time, how are the investors going to recoup their initial investment? You have to let the investors profit, comrade!
Thirdly, the upgrading of the scenic spot will definitely be led by Ms. Jiang's company, and the county's relevant departments will support it. She only mentioned this point in passing, and she did not use it as a condition to bargain with us. "
When Wang Dan heard this, his lips unknowingly flattened. He clearly disagreed with this point, but he did not refute it. He knew that with his status as a Section Chief, he wouldn't be able to argue with Li Rui in public. Since that's the case, he might as well look at Su Tao, who was on the same level as Li Rui. Su Tao seemed to want to go against him, and there would be a good show to watch later.
Taking a deep breath, Li Rui said in a solemn tone, "Lastly, the ownership of the management committee and the staff. Mr. Wang has doubts about whether they will stay or leave, but there's no need for that. Since CEO Jiang's company is going to take over the scenic spot, then we might as well abolish the management committee. There are three reasons. First, the management committee didn't have one in the beginning. Since it didn't have one in the beginning, then we can abolish it now and restore it to its original state. Second, the management committee has too many organizations and is overstaffed. It has created a huge burden on the county's finances. There's no need to calculate the specific economic accounts. Everyone can roughly think about the annual salary, social security, and welfare of a sector-level bureau. Third, after CEO Jiang takes over the scenic spot, the management committee no longer has any functions, so there's no need to keep it. "
Everyone's expression changed when they heard Li Rui's generous and domineering words. Everyone was thinking, "This Li Rui is really something. He wants to abolish the Fairy Cave scenic spot management committee right from the start. That's a big unit with more than sixty people. Who knows how many people's jobs and interests are involved in it. His clamor to abolish it is tantamount to declaring war on those sixty people and their families and backers. Sigh, young people will always be young. Their thoughts are too impulsive. They don't even consider the consequences before acting recklessly! "
Bo Yubing looked surprised. She took a deep look at Li Rui, then looked at Fang Qingyun. After a quick glance, she lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows.
Seeing that Li Rui had shut his mouth, Su Tao asked, "County Magistrate Li, are you done?"
Li Rui coldly swept a glance at Su Tao and said, "County Magistrate Su, if you have any objections, you can raise them."
Su Tao gave tit for tat, "I was just about to raise them. Not to mention your other views, just the fact that you want to abolish the scenic spot management committee is something that I'm against. The Administrative Committee was a section-level government agency. It was a formal public institution. There were more than 60 cadres and employees in it. They had made great contributions to the development of the Fairy Cave scenic spot and made many achievements. The Fairy Cave scenic spot's fame and performance today was completely inseparable from their efforts. How could they be fired just because they wanted to accept the investment of investors now? This is inconsistent with the law, sentiment, and reason. Furthermore, after the management committee is abolished, what will happen to the fixed assets of the management committee? What will happen to the employees? What if there's a misunderstanding and a lawsuit is filed? "
Li Rui coldly smiled, "There's nothing inconsistent about it. I've already said that the management committee can be abolished in the past, and it can be abolished in the future. As for the fixed assets of the management committee, those within the scenic spot belong to Mr. Jiang, and those outside the scenic spot can be sold to Mr. Jiang. As for the employees, it's fine as long as they're accepted by Mr. Jiang's company and continue to serve in the scenic spot. As for the employees, they'll be sent to the various counties and towns. As long as they're properly settled, there won't be any problems. County Magistrate Su, you're worrying too much. "
Su Tao refused to give in, "County Magistrate Li makes it sound easy. The fixed assets within the scenic spot belong to Mr. Jiang, but the truth is that the management committee belongs to the county. It's a different matter from the scenic spot. Even if it's within the scenic spot, it has nothing to do with the scenic spot. So how can it be given to Mr. Jiang?"
Li Rui knitted his brows, "County Magistrate Su, you seem to have gone off topic. We're now discussing whether Mr. Jiang's investment can be accepted. We'll only discuss the management committee after the county accepts it. Since County Magistrate Su is so insistent on this issue, does that mean that you've accepted Mr. Jiang's investment? "
Su Tao's face turned unsightly as he retorted, "Who said that I've accepted it? I'm firmly against it! There's no way to purchase a scenic spot like this. She's offering ¥2 billion over thirty years. What can she do with that little amount a year? If she's really sincere, even if she pays 500 million or 1 billion in advance, there's still room for discussion. I firmly disagree with the proposal of squeezing toothpaste and paying a little every year. "
Li Rui smiled, "You're speaking as if the scenic spot's annual payment of ¥15 million can be used for something big. I really don't understand. The scenic spot can only pay ¥15 million a year, but Mr. Jiang can pay ¥40 million. Why can't County Magistrate Su agree to the latter? "
Su Tao was also smart as he retorted, "Although the scenic spot only pays ¥15 million, it's supporting over sixty employees."
Li Rui caught onto the loophole in his words and said, "Based on County Magistrate Su's words, the scenic spot's annual income of ¥65 million, excluding the ¥15 million that goes to the county's finance, is the remaining ¥50 million used to support over sixty employees?"
Su Tao's face turned red from Li Rui's sophistry as he retorted, "That's not what I meant, I …"
Li Rui interrupted him, "After Mr. Jiang acquires the scenic spot, she can directly remove the management committee. That way, there won't be anyone to support those sixty employees, and she can also hand over ¥25 million to the county's finance. I'm sure all of you know that the county's annual income is only ¥300 million, so ¥25 million isn't a small sum! It's clear which is good and which is bad. If County Magistrate Su is willing to reject the new change of ¥40 million and insist on handing over ¥15 million, then I can only say that there's either a problem with County Magistrate Su's IQ, or you have ulterior motives. "
Su Tao's nose was crooked from anger as he was ridiculed by Li Rui in public. He opened his mouth and was about to retort. When the others saw that an ordinary Deputy County Magistrate like Li Rui actually dared to ridicule Su Tao, a Deputy County Magistrate of the Standing Committee, they were shocked and secretly admired his courage.
After listening to Su Tao and Li Rui argue for a long time, Fang Qingyun lost her patience. She was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so she hurriedly raised her hand to stop Su Tao and turned to ask Bo Yubing, "Comrade Yubing, what do you mean?"
Bo Yubing fixed her gaze on Li Rui and said, "I accept Mr. Jiang's acquisition plan, but I suggest that everyone carefully consider two points. First, the county's finance will have an additional ¥25 million every year. With this additional ¥25 million, we can do a lot more things. "This is only the first ten years, and there will be more in the second and third ten years." Secondly, the two billion yuan that Director Jiang mentioned in the acquisition plan is just the acquisition price. In fact, she will also develop the scenic area. I think everyone will understand the benefits that development and construction will bring. Everyone has to look at the long-term, and don't just focus on the tens of millions that she will hand over every year. "
Seeing that Su Tao was supporting him, Li Rui felt comfortable in his heart, and there was a hint of affection in his gaze. Bo Yubing noticed the change in his gaze, so she turned her face away.
Fang Qingyun then asked for Yan Xuezheng's opinion. After a brief pondering, Yan Xuezheng said, "I feel that Mr. Jiang's total price is acceptable, but the method of payment isn't good. Although it's good to have an annual surplus, it's too little to do anything big. I think that since Mr. Jiang has taken a fancy to the Fairy Cave scenic spot, it also proves the value of the Fairy Cave scenic spot. If it's valuable, why not be afraid that no one will buy it? We can go out and attract investment, and see if any investor is willing to buy it all at once. We will choose him as our partner, and then we can use the money he will give us to do a few big things, and make a great contribution to the county's social and economic development. This is our original intention of attracting investment. "
There was a deeper meaning in his words, and everyone present understood it. Most of the county leaders could only stay in their positions for this term. If they couldn't achieve great achievements in this term, they could forget about being promoted. Where would great achievements come from? Of course, it would be through huge investments! But Jiang Han's acquisition plan could not satisfy this requirement. She had to pay tens of millions of yuan every year for 30 years, instead of paying 2 billion yuan in one go. Since that was the case, it was definitely out of the question. It was better to look for other investors who could pay the full amount of money in one go. If they could really find such an investor who could promote this year's business, then the county leaders would be proud. When the city appointed and promoted officials, they would consider them more.
