Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 288: The Unwise Investment Promotion Office

Hu Fangyuan carefully wrote down whatever Qi Tongwei thought of in his notebook. At the same time, he felt a little confused, because Qi Tongwei was so old. He knew that these principles could only be understood after having worked in the official career for many years.

It can only be attributed to Qi Tongwei's personal excellence. To be able to become a leader at this age, his IQ, EQ, and level of hard work are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Otherwise, a mediocre leader would have been looked down upon by the cadres below.

"Thank you, General Manager. Not only did you promote me, but you also taught me so many things. I will sell myself to you when I weigh more than 100 kilograms."

Hu Fangyuan's behavior was just like those underworld big brothers, and his voice was choked with sobs. Qi Tongwei was a little stunned. What was going on? Why were all these subordinates like this recently? Did he go too far, or were they just pretending?

"Hey, hey, hey, don't give me that. We are party cadres, not gangsters. Why do we have to do this? If you can do your job well, you will be doing me justice.

With a population of more than 100,000 in Xiaqiao Street, it depends on you to implement various policies that benefit the people.

Whether I am promoting you or someone else, I have no special selfish motives, so you should not engage in this kind of personal dependence.

At the same time, you have to pay attention and get into work mode quickly. The demolition task in Xiaqiao Street is still very heavy. You come from the Urban Management Bureau, so the coordination between the two parties may depend on you.

I don’t care about anything else. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the district committee and government, you will have passed.

The rest, you can figure it out slowly by yourself."

After saying that, Qi Tongwei took out three cigarettes from the cabinet behind him and threw them over, which was also meant to show closeness.

When subordinates receive gifts from their leaders, they will show off to their colleagues everywhere about how favored they are. Another purpose is that there are too many cigarettes in the cabinet, and someone will give them as gifts during the holidays. How long will Qi Tongwei be able to keep his mouth shut?

With the arrival of Zhang Ruonan, Qi Tongwei's smoking has dropped from a pack a day to a few cigarettes a day. He also has to rinse his mouth thoroughly before going home to avoid being criticized for coming home with a bad smell.

Hu Fangyuan held three packs of cigarettes, took a black plastic bag, put the cigarettes in it and walked out. He even bowed before leaving, which made Qi Tongwei laugh and cry. It didn't matter whether these subordinates were sincere or not. As long as Qi Tongwei's status became higher and higher and he remained strong, they would always be sincere.

Judging by actions, not the heart, no one is perfect in the world.

On the other side, Xie Wu, the head of China Merchants Group, came to Qi Tongwei's office.

Xie Wu was personally selected by Jin Xinkai, and he rarely reported to Qi Tongwei. However, recently Jin Xinkai began to delegate power to Qi Tongwei and asked some departments to report to Qi Tongwei, so they became familiar with each other.

Of course, this was also Jin's way of letting Qi Tongwei get familiar with the overall work arrangements in advance, and also a hint that he would support Qi Tongwei in becoming the district chief. Many things don't need to be said explicitly, and people who understand will naturally catch the signal.

For example, Chen Chao, who is now also serving as the executive deputy director of the district's flood control, drought relief and disaster reduction office, takes on this new part-time job as a signal to the outside world. The same is true for the fact that Qi Tongwei's work in charge has been expanded again.

"General Manager, last week, Xiuqi Auto Parts Company in Chicago, Illinois, America contacted us and said they wanted to invest and build a factory in our High-tech Zone. They also saw the potential of our place as a future auto parts base.

We have verified that the company is one of Ford's exclusive suppliers and has relatively advanced technology and production capacity. ..."

Qi Tongwei had dealt with these American companies in his previous life, and the unanimous impression he had of them was arrogance, extreme arrogance.

Needless to say, they invested millions of dollars to relocate the factory in the Chicago area that was currently running at a loss. This was also a period of collective relocation of American industrial enterprises abroad and a peak period of industrial hollowing out in the country. The cheap labor force in the country, the relatively higher labor quality compared to other regions, and their advantageous diplomatic position for a certain period of time allowed them to build many factories in the country and enjoy the dividends of our rapid development.

“You mean to say that they are asking for higher policy benefits than other companies and they want to be given such a large piece of land for free?

That is almost one-third of the built-up area of ​​our high-tech zone. What will happen if we give it to other companies?"

When Xie Wu heard Qi Tongwei say this, he felt a little uncomfortable, because District Chief Jin trusted him very much and basically agreed with his opinions every time he reported. Qi Tongwei's questioning first made him a little uncomfortable. He almost ignored the difference between superiors and subordinates and started to refute his leader.

"Director, the investment amount of this enterprise is millions of US dollars, and it is in foreign exchange. We can directly complete the investment promotion task assigned by the municipal government.

It is only right to give more preferential policies to such customers. "

Qi Tongwei was a little angry. Few subordinates dared to directly refute him. He stared at Xie Wu so hard that he couldn't say the next word and threw the document in his hand.

"I don't care whether it's a few million dollars or something else, the rules are the rules. The policy benefits we give to foreign-funded enterprises now have unified standards. Besides, they are not the only foreign-funded enterprise that wants to build a factory.

If they are given preferential treatment, what about other foreign-funded enterprises?

If we take whatever we want from every foreign-funded enterprise, then what are we? Are we giving away the interests of the people to foreign capital for free?

What’s the point of investing like this?”

After saying that, Qi Tongwei stood up and walked in front of Xie Wu. Xie Wu was a short man, about 1.6 meters tall, thin and small. In front of Qi Tongwei, a strong man, about 1.8 meters tall, he almost lost his momentum instantly. He could only look up at him, sweat starting to form on his forehead.

“The district committee has appointed you as the director of the investment promotion bureau, not because you are asked to give all kinds of preferential treatment to foreign investors, but because you need to have the ability to negotiate within the standards set by your superiors and try your best to secure sufficient benefits for the district.

Giving them so much land for free would be, to put it bluntly, selling out national interests. Those lands were all confiscated from the farmers.

You don't seem to have any intelligence ability now, so go and investigate on your own.

Their company's situation in Chicago is not very good, and its business performance has been declining every year. They chose our high-tech zone, which must have been based on in-depth investigations and they felt that our area best suits the interests of all parties.

Now, I ask you to just negotiate boldly. If you report to me next time, it is still a humiliating treaty that makes all-out concessions and only knows how to attract investment but not how to gain benefits for the district.

Then you should prepare to sit on the bench in the mountains as soon as possible."
