At 9:30 a.m. on the second day, the bidding meeting officially began.
Investors from all over the country gathered in the conference hall of the Triumph Hotel. Seven bid evaluation experts drawn from Beiming City's expert library sat on the bid evaluation committee seats. There were mountains of bid documents in front of them.
.
All bids are divided into technical bids and commercial bids.
The commercial bid mainly refers to the bidding conditions put forward by the bidding company, such as how much investment it is prepared to make, how much profit sharing it is prepared to give to Jingkou County every year, and how to solve various issues of concern to Jingkou Port employees.
The technical bid part mainly focuses on port operations, elaborating in detail the concepts related to port operations.
The commercial bid part of this scoring accounted for 80%, and the technical bid part accounted for 20%.
When Liu Haotian led Wang Jucai and the others into the bidding hall, they found that their seats were right between the seats of the American Robinson Port Group and the Neon Kameda Port Group.
Liu Haotian smiled and walked towards his seat without saying anything else.
I happened to meet Fan Liquan, the executive deputy magistrate of Jingkou County, and Zhao Hongzhe, the county magistrate. The two of them were chatting with Danielson, the Asia vice president of the American Robinson Port Transportation Group. Danielson spoke very good Mandarin, so there was a lot of confusion between them.
There are no barriers to communication.
Seeing Liu Haotian and the others coming over, Zhao Hongzhe just glanced at them coldly, not paying attention to Liu Haotian at all, and continued to communicate with Danielson.
At this moment, Zhao Hongzhe's dissatisfaction with Liu Haotian has reached its peak. If it weren't for Liao Haotian, their Jingkou Port project would not be as troublesome as it is today. Now I am afraid that Jingkou Port has been officially operated by the Robinson Port Group. But just because
Liu Haotian's intervention has resulted in Jingkou County now being in a very passive position. The Jingkou Port project is subject to public bidding and is regarded as directly intervening in the matter. Although Jingkou County has not been completely kicked out of this public bidding, it has the right to speak.
has been reduced to a very low level.
When Executive Deputy County Magistrate Fan Liquan saw Zhao Hongzhe ignoring Liu Haotian, he smiled and said hello to Liu Haotian and said nothing more.
Liu Haotian curled his lips and walked directly to his seat.
At this moment, there is still half an hour before the official opening of the bidding, so the bidding hall seems a bit chaotic, with some people chatting and others socializing.
At this moment, a media reporter came to Liu Haotian with a microphone in his hand. The photographer had already pointed the camera at Liu Haotian. The media reporter looked at Liu Haotian with a smile and said: "County Chief Liu, Alice, the reporter of M TV station, now
On behalf of the many Americans who are concerned about the Jingkou Port project, I would like to ask you a few questions. I wonder if you dare to answer them?"
This is a blonde foreign girl who speaks very standard Mandarin, but her words are full of traps.
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Ms. Alice, if you want to be interviewed, I can accept it. However, I hope you will restrain your American interview methods. If you want to speak, speak well and don't set so many traps inside and outside your words.
, Otherwise, please go interview someone else."
Alice did not expect that Liu Haotian would expose him outright, without showing any of the so-called reserved and face-saving characteristics of Chinese officials.
Alice was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I will cut out this paragraph when it is broadcast. County Magistrate Liu, I want to ask, as the Magistrate of Baining County, why do you want to
Participate in the operation of ports in other counties, and as far as I know, if you had not stirred up troubles in this, Jingkou County has signed a formal cooperation agreement with Robinson Changyun Group. It can be said that it is exactly
Because of your intervention, there have been such major changes in the operation of this port. Do you have any prejudice against foreign businessmen?"
Alice's words sounded like an understatement, but Liu Haotian could feel the many traps in Alice's words. As long as one question was not answered well, Liu Haotian would be in trouble, and even
criticized by public opinion.
This is also the reason why many people are reluctant to be interviewed by foreign journalists.
Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "It seems that Ms. Alice still has prejudices against us Chinese people.
First of all, there are no legal provisions. We in Baining County cannot participate in the competition for the operating rights of Jingkou Port. This is a fair and just competition. As long as it complies with legal procedures, we can participate. Is there no problem?"
Alice could only nod.
Liu Haotian continued: "As for what you said about stirring up trouble, I don't think so, because at the beginning our Baining County only held a press conference to express our willingness to compete fairly for the right to operate the port.
We are not harming the interests of others, we are just doing our own thing. So Ms. Alice, are you also wrong when we do our own thing?"
Alice was temporarily speechless by Liu Haotian's question, but she immediately retorted: "Mr. Liu, you are sophistry, because if it weren't for you, Jingkou County has signed a cooperation agreement with Robinson Port and India Group, and you are equivalent to a
A shit stirrer, isn't it?"
Liu Haotian smiled: "Ms. Alice, why don't you ask the investors who came to participate in the bidding and see what everyone's opinions are? See if everyone wants a fair and just competition.
environment?"
Alice was speechless, because he knew that even if he interviewed on-site workers, everyone would definitely support Liu Haotian's opinion, because they were all the beneficiaries of Liu Haotian's disruption. Without Liu Haotian, they would not have been able to obtain such fairness and justice.
competitive opportunities.
Seeing Alice's ugly face, Liu Haotian just smiled slightly and continued: "Ms. Alice, just now you criticized me for saying that I have prejudices about foreign investment. I think your question is highly subjective.
First of all, I want to state that I support and affirmative attitude towards all legal foreign investors. One thing is undeniable. Over the years of reform and opening up, foreign investors have contributed to the development of our Chinese economy.
A lot, and I quite agree with this.
Even now, companies owned by foreign investors still occupy an extremely large market share in many domestic fields.
This also shows that our country has been encouraging foreign businessmen to invest from beginning to end, and our country has been creating a good business environment from beginning to end. Whether it is for foreign businessmen or domestic businessmen, our investment environment is becoming
Getting better and better.
Especially with the drastic changes in the current international situation, especially the serious deterioration of the investment environment in your old United States, in sharp contrast, our country's investment environment is getting better and better.
Therefore, I hold a positive and supportive attitude towards foreign investors.
Of course, we can say with certainty that most foreign investors invest legally, and we welcome them very much. However, we cannot deny that there are indeed a small number of investors who, under the guise of investment,
But they are engaged in illegal activities, treating some of our Chinese enterprises and even some places as lambs to be slaughtered. My attitude towards these investors who do not abide by the law is also very clear, and I will crack down severely and act in accordance with the law.
So, you are a lady, is there a problem if we do things according to our domestic laws?"
Alice was once again left speechless by Liu Haotian's question.
At this time, Yoshikawa Tomiro, the financial director of Kameda Port Group, suddenly walked into Liu Haotian and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I also want to ask you a question?"
Alice saw someone standing up, and when she saw that it was the investor you coaxed me to, she felt happy and immediately handed the microphone to Yoshikawa Tomiro.
Yoshikawa Tomiro looked at Liu Haotian with a calm expression and said: "Mr. Liu, I would like to ask, if your Baining County loses in this fair competition, will you be severely criticized by the leaders of your county committee when you go back? You
Should we take corresponding responsibility for this failure?"
The photographer of M TV station immediately pointed the camera at Liu Haotian and quickly captured the expression on Liu Haotian's face. However, Liu Haotian smiled slightly: "Mr. Yoshikawa Furuo, since you speak Mandarin so well, I would like to ask if you know
There is an ancient Chinese poem that goes like this: A victorious or defeated soldier has unexpected family affairs, and a man is a man who endures humiliation.
There is also a saying that victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs, so don’t be obsessed with victory or defeat, but focus on the process of doing things. For us officials, as long as we have a clear conscience and work wholeheartedly for the development of our local area
If we seek welfare and benefit the people, then I think victory or defeat is actually not that important.
Of course, I don’t think we will definitely fail in this bid!”
Just as Liu Haotian said this, Danielson, the vice president of Asia of Robinson Changyun Group who had talked with Zhao Hongzhe before, suddenly came over and said with a smile: "County Chief Liu, I can be 100% sure that you will win the bid this time."
Baining County will definitely be completely defeated!"
Liu Haotian couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, looked at Danielson with a smile and said, "Mr. Danielson, do you have any basis for saying this?"
Danielson smiled slightly: "Actually, you shouldn't have participated in this competition at all. Look at these companies that have come to compete. They are either big guys in the investment community and have no shortage of funds in their hands, or they have abundant resources.
A large engineering operation company with project operation experience. Compared with companies like us in the business world, what do you have in Baining County? Do you have funds? No! Project management experience, do you have it? No!
Since you have nothing, how can you compete with commercial companies like us?
As far as I know, there is a saying in China that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Although you, Liu Haotian, claim to be dedicated to the people, you do not have any trump cards in your hand. What can you do even if you have the blood? Is it because
Do people only rely on your passion to do things? Don’t you think you are too hypocritical as a person?"
