Chapter 78 Investment

The overnight conversation seemed to have made Zhao Guodong and this former unrequited love partner become much more familiar, especially after experiencing semi-intimate contact. Although the rational fence allowed the two to re-enter their lives, the mark was still deeply imprinted into their hearts.

"You came to Beijing mainly for this so-called power equipment and materials production base project?" Kou Ling asked curiously.

"Don't you say that when you go to Beijing to go to the project? For the sake of the project, do you think I'm going to be doing the Chinese New Year and I'm coming to Beijing to experience the scenery of the capital." Zhao Guodong took a sip of soy sauce and slowly savored it.

"Is the competition very fierce?" Kou Ling was still a little uncomfortable with the change in Zhao Guodong's identity. In just one year, this guy's identity seemed to have changed several times. Now he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of Xijiang District and Development Zone. She was extremely surprised by the guy who seemed to be becoming more and more unfamiliar. After all, she is still a person within the system and still has a little knowledge of the changes in the local official position. This is not as simple as you can just do things. The seemingly small first-level promotion may be a natural barrier that many people cannot overcome in their lifetime, and this guy seemed to have done it very easily.

"The competition is fierce everywhere, survival is competition, and the same is true for a place." Zhao Guodong sighed a little, "especially when backward areas want to catch up with developed areas, the effort you have to make will be greater."

"You went to Shanghai for this reason?" Kou Ling thought for a while.

"Well, attract investment, promote the advantageous conditions of the region, attract investors' attention, and seek win-win cooperation between the two sides." Zhao Guodong nodded, "Beijing's private economy is far less than that in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Although there are many large state-owned enterprises, the key points of policies and institutional limits their leap, while private enterprises and mixed enterprises do not have so many restrictions. I think we can find partners there."

"It seems that you are confident, Guodong, you have really changed. Compared to last year's Spring Festival, you have changed a lot. By the way, Feng Mingkai's transfer was also your help? The Qianyang Municipal Party Committee Office is not just someone who can adjust it at will." Kou Ling asked suddenly as if he remembered something.

"Well, it can be considered as fulfilling a relationship between him and Jiang Yao. I admire Jiang Yao's determination very much." Zhao Guodong's language revealed a kind of loneliness, which was keenly captured by Kou Ling.

"You seem to feel it?"

"Well, there are countless slopes and stumbles in life, and there are countless helplessness and sadness. It is also a great pleasure to see a couple of lovers get married." Zhao Guodong shook his head and threw away the irritability that had no reason.

Kou Ling realized that the other party did not want to talk about this matter in depth, so she perceivedly and stopped asking more questions. However, she was also confused about Zhao Guodong's fleeting vicissitudes. Is this man really the fool who sent love letters to him ten years ago?

"Do you want to contact Mia when you go to Shanghai?" I wanted to find a sentence to break the dull atmosphere, but Kou Ling felt that he was a little wrong.

"Mia?" Zhao Guodong was stunned. He didn't expect that Miya was in Shanghai. At the Spring Festival class reunion last year, the warmth and fun floated in Zhao Guodong's heart. "Look, it depends on whether the time is right. I may be very busy when I go to Shanghai."

"Yes, work is the main focus, and you are also a leader, so you have to be responsible to your own people." A sweet smile appeared on Kou Ling's face, "You always have to go back to Andu during the Spring Festival, right?"

"Well, I must go back. I have been busy for a year, how can I not go home? My father and mother are still in Jiangkou." Zhao Guodong said casually.

"Your parents are still in Jiangkou? Are they living in that textile factory?" Kou Lingyi raised her eyebrows in disbelief and asked in surprise.

"The elderly don't want to leave the original environment, so my dad likes to play chess with his old colleagues, and my mom also likes to nag with the old sisters in the workshop. If they really want them to live in Andu or Shanghai, they will definitely feel uncomfortable, so we will just let them do it." Zhao Guodong sighed, "The elderly's thoughts are different from those of us young people, and they are particularly nostalgic."

"Okay, we will hold a small-scale class reunion during the Spring Festival, and you must also participate."

"We want to hold a class reunion again?" Zhao Guodong frowned.

"Why, will classmates become your burden?" Kou Ling glared.

"That's not, but I think our classmates will be a little distorted, and they have become demonstrations for the top to show off to the middle and lower levels." Zhao Guodong shrugged, "I don't like the kind of condescending and arrogant taste."

"Zhao Guodong, are you hinting at me?" Kou Ling was really annoyed.

"No, you misunderstood. I mean the whole atmosphere is like that. It's not your fault, but the organizer's intentions are bad. It has not really established a platform that can make friends with classmates. But I have also thought that reality is like this. It is indeed impossible for you to do that." Zhao Guodong shook his head.

"Then are you not planning to participate in this year's class reunion?" Kou Ling almost asked.

"I didn't say it, but what does a small range mean? If you just gather together with a few close relationships or in a similar situation, I think it's understandable." Zhao Guodong took a step back.

"Hmph, I'm sure you must participate." Kou Ling said coquettishly.

The phone rang, Zhao Guodong signaled apologies with his eyes, and then answered the phone: "Well, you eat yours first, I'll have breakfast outside, don't wait for me. Well, you told District Mayor Huo that you would arrange it at Qianmen Hotel at noon and invite several members of the expert group of the State Power Company. Are the things ready? Well, then, you can prepare it in the morning."

Seeing Kou Ling's inquiring gaze, Zhao Guodong also smiled, "It's all like this, I can't say anything, that is, I just need to keep my feelings closer. Ning Ling is poor and dare not waste it at will."

"Understand." A playful smile appeared on Kou Ling's face, "Are you still living in Beijing tonight?"

"Hmm? I don't hope we have a thrilling adventure like last night, right?" Zhao Guodong laughed. Kou Ling's feet had improved a lot after applying medicine. Although he was a little limping while walking, at least he could still take care of himself. This made Zhao Guodong finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Kou Ling's face suddenly turned red with disgrace.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Zhao Guodong became busy. The beautiful Beijing was immediately left behind overnight. It should be said that the preliminary work was done quite solidly, and Lu Mianyang was quite capable, especially this kind of external coordination and contact was his specialty.

The investment promotion conference was arranged at the International Guidu Hotel, an old four-star hotel located in Jing'an District, making peace in the midst of the chaos and transportation is quite convenient.

"Secretary Zhao, I didn't expect there would be so many people in the business world, I really didn't expect it!"

Lu Mianyang and Huo Yunda accompanied Zhao Guodong into the lounge and just saw two local high-voltage electrical appliance manufacturers away. They were quite interested in Zhao Guodong's plan to build a power equipment and materials production base in the Yangtze River Basin, especially when they heard that Guodian had initially determined Ningling as the location, they were even more interested.

On behalf of the Ningling Municipal Party Committee and Government, Zhao Guodong also introduced a series of special policies introduced by Ningling City to build this base, such as a special integrated rapid approval channel for base investment and construction projects specially opened at the city and district levels, industrial land reserved in the development zone and abundant power guarantee, wharf renovation and expansion projects under construction in Xijiang District and the Lingang Industrial Zone, and the electrician classes, welders classes, metalworkers classes and other professional and technical workers training classes specially added by Ningling Vocational Technical College for the construction of this base.

"That's true. Secretary Zhao, the situation is gratifying. Tomorrow is the official meeting time, but we have received more than ten groups of guests in the past two days. Their enthusiasm and willingness are really beyond our expectations."

Huo Yunda was also overjoyed. In addition to the merchants who were interested in investing in the development zone to build power industry enterprises, he also accompanied Zhao Guodong to contact many customers, including some merchants such as logistics and transportation, machinery manufacturing and chemical building materials, and had a very speculative talk.

As Zhao Guodong said, a huge industry will inevitably drive related industries, such as the power equipment and materials industry, which will inevitably attract the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, and this will inevitably be linked to the building materials industry. Especially after the Xijiang District Planning and Economic Planning Commission proposed the idea of ​​planning the Lingang Industrial Zone in accordance with Zhao Guodong's ideas, Huo Yunda immediately pushed it to the table as the main focus of promoting these merchants.

"This is all superficial phenomenon, don't be too optimistic." Although Zhao Guodong was also very excited, he still needed to pour cold water on these two deputy players. Although there have been many merchants in the past two days, most of them are coming to this so-called base. Obviously, everyone wants to take advantage of the inclination of national investment to get a piece of the pie. If this base becomes a bubble, their investment enthusiasm will quickly fade away like a tide.

"Secretary Zhao, are you saying that they are all aiming for the base planning?" Lu Mianyang calmed down a little, "But I believe that even if the base is completed and failed, with the preferential conditions and enthusiastic attitude we have launched now, it should also attract some companies that want to enter the inland areas of the central and western regions. Our Ningling is not inferior to any city in the mainland, the three advantages of transportation costs, labor costs and resource costs.

"Where is the soft environment?" Zhao Guodong asked back.

"This," Lu Mianyang suffocated, and then defended unconvincedly: "Has the city opened an integrated rapid approval channel? As long as we can implement this system and further improve our service awareness, I believe our advantages will definitely be highlighted."
