Hearing Saburo Aso say this, Liu Qingyu said lightly: "Then what if our side will not retreat at all."
Aso Saburo burst out laughing: "Isn't this simple? Doing business is a process of mutual compromise and concession between both parties. It needs to be a win-win situation. If you don't make concessions and we don't make concessions, there is no need to discuss this project anymore. I heard that Qingfeng County is also planning to build an expressway project, so I’ll go there first and have a look. It’s all investment anyway. As long as we can make money, we can invest in any expressway.”
After saying that, Saburo Aso stood up and walked out of the conference room with his two assistants without any nostalgia or hesitation.
When Wei Honglin saw Aso Saburo was leaving, he quickly stood up and said, "President Aso Saburo, don't be anxious, we can sit down and have a good talk."
Aso Saburo smiled and shook his head and said: "County Magistrate Wei, I'm sorry, our conditions will not change at all. If Ruiyuan County agrees to our conditions, you can call me directly. Of course, It is best to make this call before we conclude the negotiation with Qingfeng County. If our negotiation with Qingfeng County is successful, then we will no longer invest in your project in Ruiyuan County. After all, our funds also need to consider risks. .”
After saying that, Aso Saburo got up and walked outside.
From beginning to end, Liu Qingyu sat on the chair very calmly and said nothing.
Wei Honglin watched anxiously as Aso Saburo walked out, and looked at Liu Qingyu with some dissatisfaction and said: "Secretary Liu, why didn't you stop President Aso Saburo? He is going to Qingfeng County for talks. If If they succeed in negotiating with Qingfeng County, we in Ruiyuan County will be in trouble, as we are still short of half of the funds."
Liu Qingyu smiled disdainfully and asked: "County Magistrate Wei, do you particularly hope that this project can obtain enough funds as soon as possible so that it can be started as soon as possible."
Wei Honglin nodded without hesitation and then asked, "Isn't that what you think?"
Liu Qingyu also nodded: "I do hope to get financing to start this project as soon as possible, but, County Magistrate Wei, I want to ask you another question, what is our purpose of building this expressway."
Wei Honglin said: "This is very simple. If you want to get rich, you must first build the road. Of course, it is to enable the people to get on the road to get rich as soon as possible."
Liu Qingyu nodded: "You are right, we do want to let the people get on the road to wealth as soon as possible. Similarly, do you know why businessmen invest."
Wei Honglin said: "This is very simple, for profit."
Liu Qingyu nodded: "Yes, it's just for profit. I don't object to businessmen gaining benefits. After all, no one in this world is a philanthropist. Businessmen should invest for profit, but the problem is, if this businessman wants to gain His own interests, but he has to infringe on the interests of others, and his purpose of doing this is to obtain a monopoly position. Do you think his purpose is simple? If you look at various industries today, any industry that is in a monopoly position, Which industry's charges are not artificially high? If we really allow Sanling Bank to gain the leadership of the entire project and operations, then what will they do in the future? Can our county committee and county government still have a say? Can it still play a good supervisory role?"
Wei Honglin frowned, and he had to admit that Liu Qingyu's words still made sense.
At this time, Liu Qingyu continued: "I must make one thing clear first, that is, so far, all the financing in Ruiyuan County has totaled 3 billion yuan, and we are still about 2 billion yuan short. Funding, that is to say, no matter who wants to participate in this project in the future, the most they can do is make up for the funds at the back. As a local government, we must not spend the earliest money just because we no longer have to worry about funding. Financing investors kick out the entire financing channel, otherwise, where is the credibility of our local government?
And we will launch larger-scale traffic projects in the future. If we go back on our word on this project, will there be investors willing to invest next time when the 120 billion project is put on the agenda? If by that time , even Japan's Sanrei Bank is still willing to invest in the big project later, but do you think that when there is no competition, will they open their mouths? By then, although we have built the project, But can ordinary people really get real benefits? You can see a clue of this from the continuous price increases of water companies controlled by foreign capital in some places.
In the past, when water companies were run by local governments, how much did the water cost per ton? But now since they are contracted to foreign-funded water companies, their service quality has improved much compared to before. No, there are even some companies that have emerged. How did they operate the serious water pollution incident at that time? Not only did they forcibly conceal it and not report it, but they also destroyed themselves when the incident was exposed by the media. They also shied away the responsibility from pipeline leaks and previous responsible accidents. This is not the case. What are you trying to do to deceive the people? Also, do water companies operated by foreign capital raise water prices every year or do they increase prices in stages?"
Speaking of this, Liu Qingyu became slightly excited, and his voice raised a few degrees and he said: "County Magistrate Wei, think about it carefully, how much did it cost you to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of 750ml foreign shampoo five years ago? Money, 25 yuan is enough, but the amount of money needed 2 years ago has risen to 35 yuan to 40 yuan, and now, can you buy it without 50 yuan? If you can't buy it, what does this mean? question.
This shows that the price increase of these industries monopolized by foreign capital has more than doubled in 5 years. However, has the price inflation rate in China doubled in 5 years? No, this explains why. This shows that once a certain industry If it is monopolized by foreign capital, what awaits the people will be a rapid increase in prices, and under their very skillful control, the people will not feel the increase at all. This is because they will control the increase to once a month and once a week. The frequency of the increase is once, and the increase is not large, but over time, this increase is indeed quite terrifying. This is the power of monopoly. This is why it is absolutely impossible for me to allow Japan's Sanling Bank to control our Ruiyuan. The root cause of county highway projects.”
After saying that, Liu Qingyu stood up and walked directly outside.
In the conference room, Wei Honglin was sitting there still thinking about Liu Qingyu's words. After thinking for a long time, Wei Honglin nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense, it really makes sense."
As soon as Liu Qingyu returned to the office, Huang Lihai called. Huang Lihai said with a smile: "Liu Qingyu, are your negotiations between Ruiyuan County and Sanling Bank over? How is the progress?"
Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Mayor Huang, our negotiations have ended, but the negotiations have reached a deadlock for the time being, and follow-up consultations are still needed."
Huang Lihai said with a smile: "Well, negotiation is a process of mutual exploration and compromise between the two parties. The ultimate goal is to achieve a win-win situation. But Liu Qingyu, I have to remind you that this Sanling Bank is the most expensive bank in our city." It was only through hard work that we negotiated. I hope that Ruiyuan County will start negotiations with them in a sincere and cooperative manner. You must not be arrogant. Let me remind you that there is no such store after passing this village. As far as I know You know, they are now negotiating with Qingfeng County. If Ruiyuan County cannot seize this opportunity, it will be because our city does not treat everyone equally. I introduced them to Ruiyuan County first."
Hearing Huang Lihai say this, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frown. He could feel that Huang Lihai was putting pressure on him.
Liu Qingyu nodded slightly and said, "Well, Mayor Huang, I know what to do, please don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyu frowned. At this moment, Liu Qingyu had to reconsider Huang Lihai's real purpose of introducing Sanling Bank to him. He always felt that, with Huang Lihai's previous Regarding his own views and attitudes, it was impossible for him to introduce such a good thing to himself first. You must know that Huang Lihai would prefer Qingfeng County for the 500 million support fund. Now it involves an investment project of more than 200 million. Moreover, it was Huang Lihai who contacted him. Why did Huang Lihai introduce such a good thing to Ruiyuan County first?
Thinking along this line of thought, Liu Qingyu felt a trace of inexplicable pressure.
After the negotiation, Liu Qingyu dealt with the backlog of work over the past few days. After all was dealt with, Liu Qingyu rushed to Ruiyuan Hotel. He wanted to pick up Cao Shuhui and Murong Qianxue to go mountain climbing together. Although Liu Qingyu Yu had a headache going out with the two girls.
However, what Liu Qingyu didn't expect was that after Liu Qingyu arrived at the Ruiyuan Hotel, he learned that Cao Shuhui, the captain of the criminal investigation team, had to rush back immediately to handle the case because of an unexpected criminal case in the city bureau. Therefore, the hotel Only Murong Qianxue was waiting for him.
In the evening, after returning from hiking, Liu Qingyu returned to his room. As soon as he turned on the TV, he saw a very surprising news reported on the Nanhua City News. On the TV, Aso Saburo, the president of Sanling Bank, was accepting the Nanhua City News. In an interview with the TV station, Aso Saburo said that he was conducting an inspection between Ruiyuan County and Qingfeng County, and had already negotiated with the leaders of Ruiyuan County and Qingfeng County.
When a reporter asked: "Mr. Saburo Aso, which county do you think your negotiations will be smoother?"
Aso Saburo said with a smile: "I think the county party committee leaders in Qingfeng County are more sincere and they are more pragmatic in their work."
After hearing Aso Saburo say this, the reporter asked on the spot: "Mr. Aso Saburo, do you mean to say that the leaders of the Ruiyuan County Party Committee are not sincere and are not pragmatic enough in their work."
Aso Saburo said very cunningly: "I didn't say that, that was what you said."
Seeing this, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but frown. Although the reporter's questions and Aso Saburo's answers were all developed in a very humorous way, Liu Qingyu could tell that this news was definitely aimed at him. Yes, this is an open criticism of myself.
Sure enough, at this moment, Liu Qingyu's cell phone rang. The call was from Dai Jiaming, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.
