"I've already taken care of it," Director Qiu sighed, pretending to be angry, "Forget it, add another five hundred thousand...that's the most, Mr. Jia, we can't add more."
"But where can I find the remaining four and a half million?" Mr. Jia knew that if Chen Taizhong spoke, things would only end like this, but he was unwilling to give in and looked at Chen Taizhong longingly, "Director Chen...
"
"How about I provide you with a loan?" Chen Taizhong looked at her with a smile, "The interest rate won't be very high. How about it? Are you interested?"
This suggestion completely defeated Mr. Jia. If he had no choice but to do anything, who would think of borrowing money to start a business? And obviously, Director Chen's money is not so easy to borrow.
"Director Qiu, can you give it another increase?" She could only turn around and beg Qiu Zhaohui, "I didn't expect you to raise funds by yourself at the beginning. My money is all on the goods. How about I give it to you?"
Do you want any mortgage?"
This was obviously a no-brainer. Just as Chen Taizhong was about to help Director Qiu refuse, his cell phone rang again. As soon as he saw the phone number, he turned around and walked out. The call he had to answer was from Duan Weihua.
Mayor Duan's tone was quite kind, "Xiao Chen, if everything is alright, come to my office now."
The Mayor has invited me, so I have nothing to do. Chen Taizhong hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was 11:20. He turned around and walked into Qiu Zhaohui's office. "Well, Director Qiu will receive Mr. Jia at noon.
Really, I guess I’ll have to do it again for lunch.”
"What time is it now?" Director Qiu looked at the quartz clock on the wall, "Why don't we finish the meal first? People are like iron rice and steel. I'm not talking about you, Taizhong. This job... I've never done it.
When it’s over.”
"I have to go," Chen Taizhong curled his lips angrily, nodded with a smile and turned to leave. Mr. Jia knew Zhang Yaodong, so naturally he couldn't tell who was calling him. Yes, he was already paying more attention to these taboos.
Duan Weihua naturally had some unexplainable reason for finding Chen Taizhong in this way. Otherwise, he could have asked Liu Min to notify him at another time.
I have already called from Subo City. It is said that a member of the delegation from Birmingham asked me to meet Chen Taizhong in Subo. Of course, Chen Taizhong is not a provincial cadre, so the two cities can only communicate with each other.
Even Zhu Bingsong had the intention of "exchanging" Chen Taizhong to Subo. However, Duan Weihua was reluctant to let go. Chen Taizhong was still young. Once he was exchanged, Phoenix City would lose too much tangible and intangible things.
The Investment Promotion Office. Chen Taizhong has made good friends with many investors, especially the Ningjiadi Industrial Park. It is a rare large-scale project in Phoenix City in recent years;
The level of difficulty is particularly high. Without Director Chen, no one can sustain the Science and Technology Committee like this. This is recognized by Duan Weihua and Zhang Yaodong.
As for personal connections, there is no need to mention them. From Huang Lao to Meng Yi, from the young Fan Rushuang to the Lu Hai Di Zhi Guangming, and the British MPs, these incredible people all have contact with him.
After taking a closer look, Duan Weihua was shocked to discover that he thought he had attached great importance to Chen Taizhong, but in fact he still ignored the energy of this young man.
Regarding this speculation about the exchange, he did not tell anyone, especially his goddaughter Yang Qianqian, which was even more unreasonable, so as to avoid Chen being jealous when he knew about it. The provincial capital is the provincial capital. Tell the truth.
.It should also be stronger than Phoenix City, with more opportunities and a higher level.
Moreover, he believed that Zhang Yaodong would not let such a person go. Instead of shouting out on his own and arousing Secretary Zhang's opinions, it would be better to remain silent for now.
Of course, this is a bit unfair to Chen Taizhong, but if Fenghuang City gave him a twenty-year-old deputy director, is it fair to others?
Seriously, just keep a low profile for two years and then talk about other things.
Therefore, regarding the temporary trip to Subo to receive Birmingham, he also hoped that Chen Taizhong would make his own decision in case this guy didn't want to go.
"It depends on the opinion of the city. I will obey the decision of the organization." However, the young man has become a little more diplomatic now, but he is unwilling to speak out his true thoughts.
"Let's just talk, treat it as small talk." This kind of trick didn't work for Duan Weihua. He nodded with a smile, "Can you stay away from the Science and Technology Commission now?"
"Oh, that's too much," Chen Taizhong sighed and shook his head, thinking that he still had to stress about the issue of food and getting cards, but when it came to the Science and Technology Commission, he had something to think about, "Well, if you can't, let's go there. Let's see.
Can you come back with some high-tech projects for our Phoenix?"
Mayor Duan was finally speechless. Since Chen Taizhong was going, he would not interfere. And on second thought, this guy's idea was actually not bad. "Okay, it's getting late. Let's have something to eat. Well, there's still some left."
I have something to tell you."
The two walked into the small cafeteria of the municipal government, which was Duan Weihua's designated place for working meals. It was not far from the large cafeteria. There was no railing in the middle of the small road, but it blocked other people.
The canteen is not big, just a small second floor similar to a villa. There is a hall and four rooms on the first floor. Chen Taizhong did not see the layout of the second floor, so it is probably the same.
A woman in her early thirties came forward with a smile, "Mayor Wei Hua, do you want recipe No. 1?"
"Hmm... Let's go to No. 3," Duan Weihua pondered for a moment, then made a decision, pointing at Chen Taizhong, "Follow the young man here today and add a plate of twice-cooked pork."
"I dare not agree to this," the woman shook her head, "Mayor Weihua, why don't you call Auntie and let Auntie tell me."
"Isn't it okay to add two fried fish? I want tilapia." Literature reprinted in this book 1
The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "Well... how about rainbow trout? Do you think that's okay? Tilapia is dead."
"I will eat tilapia even if I die," Duan Weihua waved his hand impatiently, "How can you deep-fry a rainbow trout with such thick meat? It's just tilapia."
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly at Chen Taizhong, "Well, I am also a mayor after all. If I want to eat a piece of meat... I have to be controlled by others."
"Haha," Chen Taizhong laughed. But it was a little strange, "Is it high blood pressure?"
"High blood fat and fatty liver," Duan Weihua smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it's not that serious, but...well, someone stopped me from eating it. The only meat I can eat is fish. It's also the steamed kind, and there's some today.
Fried fish is a blessing from you."
The dishes came out very quickly, with four dishes and two soups, one stir-fried water spinach and one cold carrot. There were also fried tilapia and braised red river shrimp. One soup was an ordinary tomato and egg soup, while the other soup was...
There are nourishing soups such as wild mushrooms and nostoc.
The most surprising thing is that Duan Weihua actually likes to eat the kind of hard Japonica rice that is not oily. "When I was in the army, I ate too much big pot rice. Now I can't get used to eating those high-grade rice. Taizhong, I have wronged you today and I want to remember the bitter experience."
Let’s be sweet…”
"It doesn't matter. I can eat rice or noodles." Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, thinking that it would be fine if he didn't eat it for two months. "The taste of this dish is really good."
The food is really good, the knife skills are exquisite. The taste is fragrant but not lost in the original taste. It is light but fresh, and the heat is just right. It cannot be said to be a delicacy, but it is definitely a rare good skill in home cooking.
In fact, this stuff doesn't mean much to Chen Taizhong. He is a landowner who can eat dumplings raw, so why would he care about this? He was just thinking about it while eating. Duan Weihua is very different from me today.
I'm afraid...what else can I say?
Of course there is. After taking two bites, Duan Weihua picked up the beer glass at hand and signaled to Chen Taizhong. After the two took a sip, Mayor Duan slowly opened his mouth.
As expected, the feast was not a good one.
Recently, Phoenix City wants to build a "Zhongguancun Street" in the High-tech Zone. This is the idea of Executive Deputy Mayor Guo Yu, and the city has given great support. However, funding is currently difficult. Since the innovation fund established by Mr. Chen is known as
Being able to raise US$30 million, Mayor Duan meant, could the Science and Technology Commission consider supporting the high-tech zone?
The relationship between Guo Yu and Chen Taizhong goes without saying, but Vice Mayor Guo has just taken office and is anxious to make some achievements. These days, you can't be intimidated by difficulties when doing things, right?
"You want support from the Science and Technology Commission?" Chen Taizhong was so surprised that he was stunned. "Mayor Guo is holding Phoenix's money bag in his hands, Mayor Wei Hua!"
"Some people in the province say that this project is suspected of duplication of construction," Duan Weihua smiled bitterly, "It can be done, but there is no need to make it so big. The resources, transportation and even reputation of Phoenix and Subobi universities are far behind.
And it started too late.”
Chen Taizhong was silent for a long time before he raised his head and asked Duan Weihua, "This... I don't know what Secretary Zhang means?"
Duan Weihua knew that what Chen Taizhong said actually meant that Zhang Yaodong had always wanted to argue with Su Bo. Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head, "The first person to know this was Secretary Zhang. What do you think he meant?"
Obviously, this is a provincial leader who has a good relationship with Zhang Yaodong and came here to say hello. The meaning is obvious. The province has some objections to the "Zhongguancun Street" you are building. It is okay, but if it is to be so big
, you raise your own funds.
Chapter 913 Two new orders
Chen Taizhong was really unprepared for Duan Weihua's words. After hearing these words, he thought for a moment and then asked casually, "What is the scale of investment in this Zhongguancun Street?"
"The initial investment is 300 million, and in the end, it will be about 89 billion, but it can be developed on a rolling basis," Duan Weihua smiled and shook his head, "According to Guo Yu's intention, it can greatly promote the development of the high-tech zone and optimize Phoenix's
The industrial structure has a greater indirect effect and will definitely exceed that of Ningjia Industrial Park..."
That was empty talk. Chen Taizhong snorted angrily, "Mayor Guo's blueprint is indeed well planned, but money here is really tight."
"Didn't you say there are 30 million US dollars?" Duan Weihua looked at him with a smile, "This was passed on to me by someone else. Haha, you never said this?"
"Something has changed," Chen Taizhong spread his hands and said to himself, "I'm not stupid. I finally managed to attract some investment and get involved in Vice Mayor Guo's fanaticism. Isn't that sick?" "Besides, if it doesn't work, Guo
The mayor can provide a loan."
"I don't support his loan," Duan Weihua smiled and shook his head, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. His expression was very indifferent, "because like you... I am not optimistic about this plan."
Damn it, is this the legendary side? Fortunately, I chose the right side. Chen Taizhong was slightly startled, smiled and nodded, "That's great. Mayor Wei Hua sees it that way too, so I'll be more confident."
Faith rejected him.”
"But what if Zhang Yaodong comes to see you?" Duan Weihua put down his chopsticks, picked up the tea bowl on the side, and took a sip, "He is very supportive of your work."
It turns out that now is the time to take sides? Chen Taizhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Secretary Zhang came to me, but I don't have the ability. I really don't have the money. It's not that I won't give it."
Duan Weihua looked sideways at him, paused for a long time, and then nodded, "Xiao Chen, to be honest, you have a lot of problems, but... in the face of big things, I still trust you."
"I really don't understand this," Chen Taizhong was not fooled by these words, but put down his chopsticks, "Guo Yu probably won't come to me, but...how can this be said to be a big deal? It can be so serious.
?"
"Without the support of the province, he is messing around!" Duan Weihua snorted, but refused to say anything else. But one thing is certain, Guo Yu, the executive deputy mayor, is as good as Duan Weihua, the mayor.
In the meantime, something happened.
Of course, there is one more thing that is certain, that is, Duan Weihua is quite satisfied with his answer. Chen Taizhong, who is joining a team for the first time, feels that his luck is really good.
With this kind of topic, no wonder Duan Weihua wanted to talk to him face to face...
I don't know why. After talking to Duan Weihua, Chen Taizhong always felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but call Wu Yan to find out what this "Zhongguancun Street" was about.
Unfortunately, no one answered Wu Yan's cell phone. Chen Taizhong hesitated and pressed the call. I guess she was busy with something or it was inconvenient?
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that Secretary Wu's call came back, "I went to the Disabled Persons' Federation today and trained them all day long, asking them to strengthen their management. Well, what do you want from me?"
What's the matter? It's hard to talk about anything. Chen Taizhong smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Secretary Wu. I am very grateful to the Hengshan District Government for supporting the work of our Science and Technology Committee. With the first supporter, there will be a second one.
hehe……"
When he said this, Yu Manjiang, the executive deputy director of the Transportation Bureau, was sitting opposite him. Director Yu was here to talk about the decoration inspection of the Transportation Bureau dormitory.
Yu Manjiang had a dead face and was not smiling at all. When he met Chen Taizhong, he said nothing else, "Director Niu said, our dormitory is completed and we need to pay you for the testing fee. I will go through the formalities." Chen Taizhong was very puzzled.
Does this guy have this expression originally, or is he unhappy because his confidant Director Zhou was dismissed from his post today?
Originally he would not have thought so, but the director's expression was too ugly, and Duan Weihua's performance at noon today told him: the relationship between the chief executive and the executive deputy, as the market said, is basically not very harmonious.
.
However, this time he guessed wrong again. Yu Manjiang was not prejudiced against him, but said that this person had this expression. Niu Dongsheng was extremely powerful in the Transportation Bureau, and he was also very popular in the city. If Director Yu
If you don't cooperate very well, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the position of executive deputy at all.
Ordinarily, Director Yu should be received by Wenhai, but Director Wen was called to a meeting by the city, so Chen Taizhong could only stand up to receive him, chatting with him at random.
Yu Manjiangchu still spoke politely to him at first, but not long after, he sent out an invitation, "Niu Bureau said that he neglected last night, and today he would like to invite Director Chen and Boss Xu to sit together. The place is hosted by
You have chosen."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Taizhong could tell that Director Yu, even if he was not Niu Dongsheng's confidant, must be very close to Director Niu.
"This is really a bit head-scratching," he apologized and walked out, dialing Xu Chunliang's number. However, he was surprised to learn that there was no progress on Mr. Xu's side, as if he didn't care much.
, after receiving his call, he agreed to ask these young masters about their temper. It was really bad. Chen Taizhong smacked his lips, "Forget it, I probably won't be able to ask for a while. You don't have to go tonight, I'll go
Went to Niu Dongsheng’s banquet.”
He meant his words well and didn't want to embarrass Xu Chunliang, but when Mr. Xu heard this, he quit, "Can't I go without asking clearly? I want to see if this Niu Dongsheng is really such a philistine."
Come on, you all have a temper. I, the Immortal Luo Tian, only deserve to be angry. With such a mood, he walked back and was about to explain to Yu Manjiang when Wu Yan called.
When Wu Yan heard his way of speaking, he knew it was inconvenient, so he just said a few words and hung up. Seeing him hang up, Yu Manjiang showed a rare smile, "Secretary Wu's phone number?"
Director Yu was actually quite annoyed by where he was doing his errands today. When he thought about it, this matter was completely within the scope of the office director's work. How could a place as big as the Science and Technology Commission be worth his while?
However, since Niu Dongsheng gave the order solemnly, it would be impossible if he didn't come. In addition, the Niu Bureau was very angry today because of yesterday's incident with Shunda. Everyone in the Bureau was cautious and trembling.
Fortunately, after I came to the Science and Technology Committee, Director Wenhai and Pujie were not around. I was able to sit down with Deputy Director Chen, who was said to be very capable, and I got to know the number one person. It didn’t matter if I waited. Anyway, that’s all for today.
The biggest thing is that it can be considered as stealing half a day's leisure.
So after hearing Chen Taizhong's call, Director Yu had a little gossip, "Is Hengshan your first order?"
"Well, I'm a cadre from Hengshan," Chen Taizhong nodded absently, "This... there's a dinner party tonight, will Mr. Yu go?"
"It depends on the arrangements of Bureau Niu," said Yu Manjiang, who was really aware of his deputy position, but this also shows that Director Niu is really strong enough.
While the two were talking, Wen Hai finally came back. When Chen Taizhong saw this, he quickly ran away. He was about to call Wu Yan back, but suddenly remembered that he seemed to have promised to meet a liar today, so he quickly used his spiritual sense.
After searching, I found that the guy had already moved away from Tiannan.
Damn, I don’t have time to talk to you right now. Director Chen knows that that guy must have run away secretly, but how can he care about it now?
However, while searching so distractedly, he suddenly found Zuo Yuan coming to the Science and Technology Committee again. He was a little confused for a moment, why was the vice president of this commercial bank always going to the Science and Technology Committee when he had nothing to do?
Do you want to go to Liang Zhigang's office? However, if Director Liang dares to receive you in the office, there will probably be no problem, right? Just as he was hesitating, he bumped into Liu Xiaobao, the Education Committee member, who was coming out of the office with a smile. Li Jian accompanied him.
It's funny.
As soon as Director Liu saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Haha, Director Chen is very busy. I've been here several times but I still haven't seen you. I'm here again to deliver orders to the Science and Technology Committee."
"Haha, thank you so much," Chen Taizhong nodded with a smile and looked sideways at Li Jian, "By the way, Director Li, this... the Education Committee is so cooperative. Take a look at Director Liu and see if he needs any help.
Our Science and Technology Committee should also do our best.”
Everyone understands the meaning of these words, but it is meaningless to put it bluntly. Li Jian heard this and nodded with a smile, "That is Director Liu's business, and it is the business of our Science and Technology Committee."
