The phone was connected, and Huang Lihai's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Comrade Liu Qingyu, how is the financing for the expressway going? Is it going well?"
Hearing that Huang Lihai was concerned about this matter, Liu Qingyu didn't care. After all, as the mayor, it was normal to be concerned. Liu Qingyu reported directly: "Mayor Huang, the progress here is still going well. It's been relatively smooth, about half of the funds have been settled, and the remaining half is in the process of being settled."
When Huang Lihai heard the news, he was shocked. He did not expect that Liu Qingyu would raise about half of the funds within a few days after receiving the funds. This speed was really too fast.
Thinking of this, Huang Lihai had to pretend to be very appreciative and said: "Well, Comrade Liu Qingyu is good. He deserves recognition for raising so much money so quickly."
Liu Qingyu smiled and said: "Thank you, Mayor Huang, for the compliment. This is what I should do."
Huang Lihai nodded: "Well, very good, Comrade Liu Qingyu, I'm calling you today mainly to tell you that you don't have to worry about the remaining funds. Now after my many efforts, and a family The Bank of Japan finally convinced Escape after repeated exchanges and communications. They have now expressed their willingness to participate in this highway construction project. They are very interested in your highway project in Ruiyuan County and are willing to fund the construction of this project."
Liu Qingyu was stunned when he heard the news. He never expected that Huang Lihai would bring him such good news. He immediately said with some emotion: "Mayor Huang, thank you, thank the city leaders for their support of us Ruiyuan." Support for county work.”
Huang Lihai smiled and said: "Liu Qingyu, don't be polite to me. Who made me the city leader? What's more, I am also a cadre from Ruiyuan County. If I can complete the expressway project in Ruiyuan County as soon as possible, then It is also my wish to get the economy of Ruiyuan County back on track faster. It is estimated that the Japanese bank will send people to your Ruiyuan County tomorrow morning. Please communicate with them carefully and arrange the financing as soon as possible. The matter is finalized and the project will be launched as soon as possible.”
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyu was in a good mood. He thought to himself: "It seems that although Huang Lihai has various shortcomings, he is still good in terms of the overall situation and in essence. He can be the most difficult in Ruiyuan County." When he was working, he tried every means to raise funds for Ruiyuan County, and he indeed showed the magnanimity that a party member cadre should have."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyu took Cao Shuhui and Murong Qianxue into the car and sent them to Ruiyuan Hotel.
Ruiyuan Hotel is a relatively good hotel in Ruiyuan County. Liu Xiaofei, Liu Xiaopang and others usually stay there when they come to Ruiyuan County. Liu Qingyu settled Cao Shuhui and Murong Qianxue, and then they I made an appointment with the two of them to go hiking with them tomorrow after finishing work, and then left.
Although the next day is the weekend, as the county party committee secretary, Liu Qingyu does not get to rest every weekend. As long as he has work, he must appear in the county party committee office building.
At 8:30 in the morning, the huge county party committee office building was quiet. Most of the staff had gone away for the weekend. Only some of the staff on duty were still at their posts. Everyone knew Liu Qingyu’s habits, so he was still working as usual. Likewise, those who have work are busy working, and those who have no work remain silent.
At this moment, a loud knock on the door broke the silence of the entire building, and also broke Liu Qingyu's interest in drinking tea.
Liu Qingyu walked to the door, opened it, and saw three well-dressed men in suits and leather shoes walking in accompanied by Mayor Huang Lihai's secretary Li Yi. After entering, Li Yi introduced with a smile: " Secretary Liu, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Aso Saburo, the president of the Baiyun Province branch of Japan's Sanrei Bank, Huaxia District. These two are his assistants Sasaki and Kawaguchi Governor. They are here to negotiate on behalf of Japan's Sanrei Bank. Please talk about the financing issues of your Ruiyuan County Expressway."
With that said, Yi introduced the three Japanese to Liu Qingyu respectively. The man standing at the front with black glasses and a serious face was Saburo Aso, the fatter one behind him was Governor Kawaguchi, and the shorter one was Sasaki.
After introducing the three Japanese, Li Yi introduced Liu Qingyu to them.
After the meeting between the two parties, Li Yi said with a smile: "Okay, after introducing you, my task is completed. Secretary Liu, you can talk to them about the specific matters. I have to go back to Nanhua City."
Liu Qingyu smiled and said politely: "Secretary Li, let's leave after lunch."
Li Yi smiled and said: "No need, Mayor Huang still has things for me to do."
After Li Yi left, Liu Qingyu took three Japanese people to the small meeting room of the county committee. At the same time, he called the county magistrate Wei Honglin and the director of the county committee office Song Xiaojun. Song Xiaojun was responsible for recording the meeting, and Wei Honglin was responsible for communicating with Liu Qingyu. Participate in negotiations with the Japanese together.
After the two parties sat down, Saburo Aso said directly in slightly blunt Chinese: "Secretary Liu, we heard that your Ruiyuan County is preparing to build an expressway project. We are very interested in it and we are willing to invest."
After saying this, Saburo Aso stopped abruptly and stopped talking. He looked at Liu Qingyu and Wei Honglin with a smile in his eyes.
Liu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Saburo Aso was really cunning. He was obviously playing a fishing trick. He was waiting to make conditions, but he didn't take the initiative. Instead of putting forward conditions, they were waiting for Liu Qingyu and the others to ask.
According to Liu Qingyu's original intention, the best way at this time was to remain silent, but Wei Honglin next to him could not hold back his anger and said directly: "President Saburo Aso, our Ruiyuan County is still short of more than 2 billion in funds. , I didn’t know you could invest so much money.”
Saburo Aso said calmly: "It's only more than 2 billion. It's just a piece of cake for us."
Wei Honglin's face suddenly showed excitement and he said quickly: "That's great. We in Ruiyuan County warmly welcome you to invest in this project."
Regarding Wei Honglin's excitement, Aso Saburo acted very calmly. He just looked at Wei Honglin with a smile, but did not say anything.
Wei Honglin suddenly felt that he was excited a little too early. The silence at the scene made him look a little embarrassed, but he was also very smart. He immediately said with a smile: "President Aso Saburo, since it is not a problem to invest in your sister, I think, your sister There must be your investment conditions."
Wei Honglin was able to sit in the position of county magistrate, and his insight was relatively strong. The temporary embarrassment immediately allowed him to understand the Japanese tactics, and he directly asked the questions that the other party was expecting.
After Saburo Aso heard Wei Honglin's words, he smiled and said: "The investment must be conditional. After all, although these more than 2 billion are just a piece of cake for our Sanling Bank, if they are placed in your China, especially In your Ruiyuan County, this is definitely a huge amount of money. Moreover, as the president of Sanling Bank, our investment must have a return. Therefore, we must plan the most reasonable investment for our investment. condition."
Wei Honglin nodded: "That's for sure, what are your conditions."
While Wei Honglin was talking, Liu Qingyu had been sitting there calmly, his eyes lightly scanning the faces of the three Japanese people. He discovered that just when Aso Saburo was speaking, all three Japanese people were He showed a strong sense of arrogance and even glanced at the corners of his mouth.
Saburo Aso said calmly: "We have three conditions. First, as far as the entire expressway project is concerned, we are willing to invest 51% of the project investment and obtain the controlling stake of the entire project, and we must obtain the controlling stake. If If other investors jointly invest more than 49% of the shares, then you must withdraw part of the funds so that we can obtain controlling interest in the entire project;
Second, after the project is completed, when the entire expressway project is operated in the future, our Sanling Bank will be responsible for the operation and management of the entire project to prevent your Chinese-style corruption from becoming a toxin that affects the failure of the entire project;
Third, during the project construction period, we must have the management initiative for the entire project construction. We must also have the right to speak and dominate the materials, quality, and bidding for the project construction. I think that we Japanese Efficiency and dedication are the key factors that can ensure the success of the entire project.”
After Saburo Aso finished speaking, Liu Qingyu, Wei Honglin, and Song Xiaojun all frowned.
None of them expected that the Japanese would put forward such harsh conditions. They would control the entire expressway project and be responsible for the overall operation after the project was completed.
At this time, Wei Honglin and Song Xiaojun all focused on Liu Qingyu's face. At this time, they had to look at Liu Qingyu's opinion first.
Liu Qingyu thought for a moment and said calmly: "Mr. Saburo Aso, is this all you want?"
Saburo Aso nodded.
Liu Qingyu said: "Your conditions are really too harsh, and I'm afraid we can't accept it. I allow you to invest 49% of the capital, but I absolutely cannot give you a controlling stake in the entire project, nor can I give you the right to operate the entire project. It is even more impossible to give you the right to lead the entire project in the early stages of construction. You can participate in the preparation and operation of the entire project, but you must not be the leader."
Saburo Aso smiled directly and shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, our conditions in Japan will not deteriorate at all. These are our conditions. If you cannot agree, we will not invest."
