Director Xu gave a speech first, and then announced the precautions. It took about half an hour to get to the point and explain the content of this hearing. Everything was old-fashioned and boring.
It was not until the end that the two plans were read orally before everyone discussed it. When Mayor Yang's plan was read, there was not much discussion. Once the plan submitted by Secretary Yu came, the whole There was a roar in the venue, some were laughing, some were sarcastic, but there was no support.
Secretary Yu's face was very embarrassed, because many people were looking at her. As the secretary of the Dongning Municipal Party Committee, she would actually hand over such a plan, which was really "amazing".
However, when Director Xu started to read out the funds invested by all parties, no one laughed. Mayor Yang's plan was supported by several major groups, especially the Mitsui Foundation, with an investment of 16 billion, and It’s still US dollars. Such a number is unimaginable to many people who don’t know.
In particular, a company called Canglong invested a total of 10 billion U.S. dollars in a plan. This is surprising. After all, Oriental International has only recently emerged, and it was because of a racing event. Otherwise, no one would know that such a company exists.
"The next topic is very simple. After the two parties show their final sincerity, the committee members will vote to choose the most favorable plan for Dongning's future new economic zone based on the actual conditions of the two parties." Director Xu He smiled and said, "Now hand the microphone to both parties."
The hearing entered the most tense part. Secretary Yu gave the initial say to Mayor Yang, so Mayor Yang said: "I am full of confidence in Dongning's future economic situation, because Menglong Group, Wansheng Group, Jiujiang Group will take root in Dongning. With the help of Dongning's unique geographical location and historical environment, it will become another economic metropolis in China. Similarly, today we have invited Mr. Inoue, the future successor of the Mitsui Foundation, to come. It will also be the main investor in the Dongning New Economic Zone in the future."
When he said this, Mayor Yang gave the right to speak to Inoue Kazuo. People who didn't know it all looked at Inoue Kazuo. Mitsui Consortium is one of the largest consortiums in Japan, and several of its subsidiaries are among the top 500 in the world. , it can be seen that its capital is strong. If it gets the capital injection from the Mitsui Consortium, Dongning's economic situation will naturally be considerable in the future. In comparison, an unknown Oriental International really can't make a difference, and if it has money, it is just a nouveau riche. That’s all, and the potential for upstarts is limited.
Therefore, the committee members began to lean towards Mayor Yang's plan, not to mention that Canglong's plan was really ridiculous. In fact, these elected committee members were not from the Reform Office, but came from various departments, although they were also powerful. , but did not understand the situation.
The reason for this selection is also to make the final vote of this hearing more open and fair, and to show the new style of the Reform Office.
"China is a big market. China can live without Japan, but Japan cannot live without China. Dongning will also be another economic metropolis in China, a metropolis that is taking off. Although it is still in the growth stage, I believe that Dongning will be in the future. Ning will become a world-class big city." Inoue said, paused, "Therefore, the Mitsui Consortium will increase its investment in China, and will also set the most favorable example for the friendly and mutually beneficial relations between China and Japan. .”
Having said this, the whole conference room suddenly rang with palms. The Mitsui Consortium is powerful and touches all walks of life. If it takes root in Dongning, it will have a huge impact on Dongning and even attract other foreign investment to Dongning. Such a The future is what everyone wants to see.
Especially those flattering words he said deeply touched the hearts of the committee members present. After all, everyone likes to hear good things.
I have to say that Inoue is very eloquent, and his eloquent talk made the atmosphere of the whole venue lively. Although his Chinese is a bit poor, he is still very popular. Some people even lamented that Inoue is indeed capable of taking on big responsibilities. In the future, the Mitsui Foundation will Getting better and better.
But what they care about most is the investment intention implicit in Inoue's words. This is the top priority. A world-class city does not only need the prosperity of a certain field, but the prosperity of all fields.
But no one actually wanted to vomit when Inoue said these words, but he remained friendly and cheerful on the surface, with a polite smile on his face until he finished speaking.
After Mayor Yang's representatives all expressed their support, the committee members were basically convinced. Finally, Secretary Yu finally spoke up. At this time, it seemed that she was somewhat alone.
"According to my plan, in the future Dongning will be built into the most livable green city, and it will also be a city with rapid economic development. But according to different ideas, we will get Oriental International," Secretary Yu also said. Talk, but her words also attracted the attention of many people, but they did not attract the attention of the committee members.
Finally, she also gave the right to speak to Canglong. When Canglong stood up, the eyes of the whole audience were fixed on him.
However, his speech was not as flattering as Inoue Kazuto's. He just said: "As Secretary Yu said, as for our Eastern international green city, as for the economy, I think it is secondary. If a city is not suitable for people How can people treat this city as their own home and build it? Who will really contribute to this city? Therefore, I think the future of Dongning does not lie in the economy, but in humanization. What Ning needs is a direction more suitable for sustainable development, rather than relying on selling resources and land to obtain short-term economic benefits."
At this point, the entire venue fell silent. There was no applause, only surprise. Even Director Xu was surprised, because Canglong's previous words were very good, and even he was a little moved. The Reform Office was established to find In the direction of sustainable development, Dongning is just a pilot project.
In the last few words, Canglong was directly criticizing the current situation of major cities. Although this may be true, no one wants to hear it, because it is a slap in the face, even the No. 1 and No. 2 figures in the provincial party committee. They also frowned and looked at Secretary Yu and Canglong in unison.
But Canglong didn't mean to end, but continued: "What Dongning needs is more tolerance, not xenophobia, and this is very serious in Dongning. Locals discriminate against outsiders. These are the characteristics of this city. Obstacles to future development, if one day all people in Dongning, whether locals or outsiders, nationals or foreigners, can regard Dongning as their home and work hard to make it beautiful , this is our success, so Oriental International will also take this goal as the premise and work hard to cooperate with the municipal party committee and government to carry out reforms and build a common home for us."
The meeting place was silent. Although Canglong's tone softened a little later, he was still not likable. Even though what he said in the end was very reasonable, no one was willing to listen to him because he was overstepping his authority.
Even Secretary Yu has a bad face. She should have expected Canglong to say this, but it is too late to stop it now. This is not Canglong's classroom. The students like to listen to him because they have a bright future in their hearts. , but the people here are different, they only care about interests.
After Canglong sat down, the venue was still silent. The awkward atmosphere made Director Xu not sure how to continue, but he still organized the speech and said: "Do both sides have any other materials that need to be submitted to the committee members? If not, then everyone The committee members will vote after re-examining the materials from both parties."
Neither side is making a statement, because the facts are already in front of them, and it is obvious who is more in everyone's interests. As for Canglong's monologue, it is just as childish and ridiculous as the plan.
However, when Director Xu asked people to place materials from both sides on the committee members' desks, the committee members' faces suddenly changed after seeing it. They all started talking among themselves, and several committee members even exclaimed: "This is How is it possible, how could this company get involved?"
Seeing this situation, Cang Long remained calm, but Mayor Yang and the others on the other side were no longer calm. The No. 1 and No. 2 figures of the Provincial Party Committee immediately left the scene, seemingly going backstage to find out why the committee members were so surprised. After all, the facts had been revealed. In front of you, there is no need to hesitate.
Until they came back, their eyes fell heavily on Secretary Yu and Cang Long at the same time, but the feeling they gave Mayor Yang was completely different. It was an ominous premonition.
"Then let's start voting now." Director Xu said.
Then the staff took out a small box and walked to the committee members. The committee members hesitated for a while, but finally made a decision. A few minutes later, the small box fell into the hands of Director Xu, with notes from the committee members inside.
He said: "The red color represents Secretary Yu's plan, and the blue color represents Mayor Yang's plan."
After saying that, he took out the first piece of paper, and everyone became nervous. The first piece of paper was from Lan Se, Mayor Yang's side.
So Mayor Yang and the others immediately calmed down. Director Xu took out the second one, which was red, but they didn't care. After all, it was reasonable for someone to vote for Secretary Yu.
But when the third, fourth, and fifth votes were still red, they suddenly became uneasy. When Director Xu took out the sixth vote, they finally breathed a sigh of relief because it was blue.
Now it was two to four. If two red tickets appeared, they would lose. Mayor Yang was heartbroken. The seventh ticket was blue, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The eighth ticket was also blue. It ended up being a tie. This was a result that no one expected.
By the ninth card, the hearts of Mayor Yang and Secretary Yu were stuck in their throats. Director Xu slowly took out the red one. This time, even Inoue stood up without calmness. If a red card came next, se, they lose.
"The tenth picture, red." Director Xu smiled, as if he was expecting it.
After hearing this, Xie Kun stood up on the spot and said loudly: "This is not scientific."
